An African Night's Entertainment by Cyprian Ekwensi.

A Weird Hope by

Hi Mushin, I have spent the better part of an hour trying to locate u on nairaland and a darn good part of a month trying to find a review/summary on the Internet of 'An African Night's Entertainment' by Cyprian Ekwensi. Unfortunately both quests have turned out futile.  I am wondering, could you please do a very brief summary of the book for me? As brief as is convinient for u, not to take too much of ur time. Basicaly, all i want is the plot/outline and the major characters in the book. I should have been able to lay my hand on a copy of the book, but I am currently out of the country and I need it for an urgent assignment.

I would appreciate if any1 in da house could help me out: just pls make a post of it on this page, I wll be checking most eagerly for the next couple of days or so.

And finally, however on earth does one send a PM (personal Message) to a fellow Nairalander without leaving the site; i know such a thing exists as I have read the 'SMF User' help manual (https://www.nairaland.com/Themes/default/help/pm.english.html) but i dont seem to be able to do it from my pc. case in point: assuming i wish to send this message to a specific person alone, say mushin, and not to the general public?

Thanks all!

Akeeeeeeeeeeee oboye i luv it

Ndipe:

Is the name of the novel, Second chance? The story of a girl from a very rich family, who gives birth to twin girls, one is named Miatta. Her mother's snottiness forces the husband to pack out of the family with one of the twins, (Miatta) whom she would reunite with seven years later. Yeah, the last name of the husband was "Essien."

HOPEFUL LOVERS,
