About the Book
At the heart of the novel is the village of Mannobe and its colourful cast of characters: Babylon, a gifted musician who falls under the spell of the beautiful Jericho who has recently returned from the city; Mabel and M’elle Codon, twin sisters whose lives have taken very different paths; Magdalena, daughter of Mabel, who nurses an unrequited love for Babylon; and Allegory, the wise old man who adheres fiercely to tradition.
Bitterleaf is a richly textured, poetic and evocatively imagined tale about love and loss, parental and filian bonds, and everything in between that makes life bittersweet.

Lasgidi Rats Board Game
A great famine has descended upon the rat kingdom. Many rats are starving and many more have passed to the great beyond. But all hope is not lost. There is a prophecy of a guardian that will lead the survivals to a great city filled with food – the LASGIDI city.
The surviving rats must find their way to homes of Lasgidians (humans of Lasgidi). As the Guardian, you must lead the last survivors through underground tunnels to the holes in the houses across the city. This is your first break-in, lead the first batch of the rats safely to the yam store and gather your path points. Beware of the dangers you may encounter.
