About this Novel

The name I have carried since my childhood is Zaynab Aliyu Gwarzo. My father, Malam Ali Mai Almajirai, hails from GWARZO town in Kano state. Malam Ali is renowned in and around Gwarzo village for his ability to provide remedies for ailments associated with supernatural beings, using verses from the Holy Qur'an. In addition to his healing abilities, Malam Ali is a teacher with thousands of students under his tutelage. He is also a respected farmer and shepherd, owning five large farms and various animals, including farm chickens, ducks, ostriches, goats, and more. Malan Ali is known for his integrity and generosity, and his reputation extends throughout Gwarzo. Anyone seeking his house, irrespective of their location in Gwarzo, only needs to mention "Mai Almajirai," and they will be directed to his residence. Malam Ali has three wives, but only one of them, Inna Dubu, has been blessed with children. She gave birth to Umar-Faruk, the only surviving child. Her previous nine children, known as "wabi," all passed away in infancy. Malam Ali's wives include Inna Dubu, Inna Rakiya, Innata, and Rabi. The last wife, Buzuwa, is my mother, and I was raised under her care.
