Egonna

The novel ‘Egonna’ tells of the travails of a young Izzi girl Egonna, who had a dream of becoming a gynaecologist in a society that is indifferent to girl child education. To achieve her dreams, She would have to deal with the frustration occasioned by poverty, the excesses of a chauvinistic father, the philandering of an immoral teacher, the pain of betrayal of a close friend, the pangs of loneliness as well as other unforeseen contingencies occasioned by time and chance.

How much of these can a teenage girl from a rural community that is indifferent to girl child education take?

The story of Egonna throws a fundamental question at the philosophy of predestination.

Are some things meant to be regardless or are humans the ones that make them be?
