I loved the story and I think many African readers from Conservative homes will relate to Soila and will fall for Akhenaten, because he is a vision of everything Africa is, is not and fights to both be and not be. However, Soila is also very childish in her thinking and never seems to outgrow her thoughts despite her mature actions in caring for her mother and being a filial daughter.
