A Season of Waiting

No day passes without Nesta Koffi sending her children to the post- office for news from her husband, who migrated to America to work on an anonymous cruise ship; no news comes; and so Nesta awaits report of his death. Told from the perspectives of the wife and children left behind, this work of fiction reflects upon the common, but at times devastating conditions of our global but unequal world, where a husband leaves his family and home in search of wealth and opportunity. David Omowale is a budding and versatile novelist and poet of the mobile African diaspora. Born in Grenada he lives and works in Kenya.
