The Masquerader (Peggy Oppong Novel)

Susan shook her head several times as she stared at Esinam in utter disbelief. Of all the strange tales she was privileged to have heard as she grew up in the city of Accra, none could rival what her daughter narrated.

Kapre is his name. He has no known relative and, somehow, all the people who helped raise him died. His physical features are unattractive and everyone agrees he and ravishingly beautiful Esinam are worlds apart but the two get married against all the odds and the predicted difficulties begin.

Professor Demas, an internationally acclaimed man of God, arrives in the nick of time promising to unravel the mystery. This, true to his word, he does but in an unanticipated manner.
