The Gods of Women Have Gone Mad

2019

by Wole Akosile

The Gods of Women Have Gone Mad is a raw and candid account of the horrors of female genital mutilation, a heartbreaking coming-of-age dystopian story, and a powerful and moving tale of the indomitable spirit of women in the face of immense adversity.

In the culturally rich land of Rolami, where tradition and gods rule, young women face the harrowing practice of circumcision. Lami, the privileged daughter of a prominent chief, has managed to avoid this fate for four seasons. But even her power and determination can't shield her from tradition forever.

When her best friend returns from exile to offer comfort, Lami discovers that the consequences of her culture's cruel rites of passage are even worse than she had imagined. Together with her friends, she must fight to bring revolution to Rolami. But will their changes be for the better or the worse? It all depends on who is telling the story and who is listening...

Can one man bring down the world's financial systems?

Glasgow 1977 - a young Trotskyite, Richard Slater, comes up with the idea that if he hid in deep cover until he was in a position of responsibility, he could unleash a devastating act of sabotage capable of starting a revolution. Party activists develop the plan - code name Zima and lie in wait...

The "suicide" of Richard's work colleague shows British and Russian Intelligence have been listening and waiting too. Tension mounts as more players reveal themselves and the battle for power and control moves to Moscow. As the coil of agents, misinformation, and mind control experiments connected to Zima unravel - where do allegiances lie? Can Richard trust anyone - even himself?

Can MI9 stop a catastrophic act of sabotage on the banking system? Will the revolution succeed? Can Richard uncover the TRUTH and save himself?
