Falling in love with a groomed queen-in-waiting is not only suicidal, but also the signing of one’s death warrant. There are similarities with the Romeo and Juliet’s classic story and that of the American divorcA©e, Mrs. Simpson Spencer, eventually the Duchess of Windsor, the later falling in love with a member of the British Royal Family that gave up the crown of the British Empire for her.. The protagonist, Keng, gives up a virgin whom he marries as a subterfuge. Apart from the romantic theme, the saga encapsulates the dying tradition of Ngonsonia (rightly linked to the Grassfields tradition). It is a lampoon of a society where human and economic rights of women are still a far cry in an appallingly and predominantly chauvinistic society. Designation and Kuhn; Cartobibliography of the Cameroon, numerous articles and book reviews. He has edited To the Grassfields and Highlands of Inner Cameroon, and The Joys and Sorrows of African Children. He has taught and worked for both the British and Canadian governments.
