When a Walangila chief died, his family put his head in a clay pot and waited for the snake. By the time the boy is seven, the snake in his great-great-grandmother's pot has been feeding for ninety-one years, and he is almost old enough to be told. A novel about the ground people stand on, the inheritance of how to be unmoved, and a grandmother's word - Walangilaki: what could they do to me. Set on the western shore of Lake Victoria among the Haya, who smelted carbon steel two thousand years before Europe understood the process. In the lineage of Achebe, Adichie, and Ishiguro. First book of the SILT trilogy - and Book One of an eight-book civilizational arc that began in soil that has never been written this way before.
