God of mercy : a novel / by Nwọka, Okezie,author.;
God of Mercy is set in Ichulu, an Igbo village where the people's worship of their gods is absolute.

As tensions grow between Ichulu and its neighboring colonized villages, Ijeoma is forced into exile. Reckoning with her powers and exposed to the world beyond Ichulu, she is imprisoned by a Christian church under the accusation of being a witch. Suffering through isolation, she comes to understand the truth of merciful love.
