The goddess, whom Nwapa first invoked in her novel Efuru, finally reemerges in her original glory in The Lake Goddess, to brighten womens paths as a symbol of strength and independence. In her final novel, Flora Nwapa weaves the mysteries of the lake, the folklore and traditional beliefs of her people. Into a multi-generational story of rites and customs, family and duty, womanhood and self-reliance, and, ultimately, the significance of abiding by the spiritual laws of the lands they occupy.
