This novel tells the story of Onyesonwu, the outcast girl who grows up to be the Sorceress with the potential to rewrite history and reality. The book is beautiful and I think it does the post-apocalyptic and the group-journey narratives very well. It doesn't sugar-coat its heroine--she has moments of violence and anger and failure as much as anyone. Although I found myself wanting more about what the apocalyptic moment was, the hints that were given were more than enough to put together the outlines. I am still wondering about the role of technology in the novel--people have computers, for example, but it wasn't clear to me quite how they use them.
