God of mercy : a novel / Okezie Nwoka.

Nwoka, Okezie, (author.).

Summary:

Set in Igbo village, Ichulu, where the people's worship of their gods is absolute, the village is reckoning with changes - including a war between gods signaled by Ijeoma, a girl who can fly. As tensions grow between Ichulu and its neighbouring colonized villages, Ijeoma is forced into exile. Reckoning with her powers and exposed to the world beyond Ichulu, she is imprisoned by a Christian church under the accusation of being a witch. Suffering through isolation, she comes to understand the truth of merciful love.
