Description

The Chain and The Amulet by David Kujabi is a thought-provoking blend of fact and fiction set against the backdrop of 1970s and 1980s Gambia. Against this complex historical context, a young woman named Satou navigates an unexpected love affair with her betrothed's son, while also uncovering the truth about her own arranged marriage. As the narrative unfolds, the author weaves in the real-life events of the 1981 coup d'état, led by Kukoi Samba Sanyang. Through the eyes of Lang, who witnessed these events firsthand, the reader is given a unique perspective on the aftermath of the coup and its impact on those involved. This beautifully crafted story explores themes of love, arranged marriages, and polygamy, set against the turbulent backdrop of Gambia's history.
