The Looming Fog
The
Looming Fog is the 2006
debut
novel by the Nigerian writer, Rosemary
Esehagu. The story follows the life of an intersex child as they struggle to live in a pre-colonial village in
Nigeria that considers the anomaly an abomination.

and narrator, one becomes aware of other members of this small society,
including the second main character, Kayinne, who is the only surviving child
of an elderly couple. She must battle with her society concerning her desire to
become a healer — a major taboo for a woman in Nigerian society.
