description: Set in Cross River State, Nigeria, in the recent past, Blind Bartimaeus is a sensitively drawn picture of the area, its people and its customs, woven around the story of Edem. Edem is a sympathetic and touching figure, fighting against his near blindness. But neither his integrity nor his religious faith can protect him or his friends from the evil in the community. In the aftermath of the festival of Ekpe manifestations, the story is brought to its tragic close.
