- Wife_of_the_gods:_a_novel abstract "Wife of the gods: a novel is a Ghanaian-American detective novel by doctor and novelist Kwei Quartey. It is his debut novel. The novel focuses on a detective, Inspector Darko Dawson, as he investigates the murder of a medical student in a remote area of Ghana. The novel focuses on the conflict between scientific medical knowledge and the prominence of traditional healers. Much of the plot focuses on the indentured servants of these "witch doctors", known as the trokosi. The title of the novel comes from a lose translation of that term: "wives of the gods."The novel was written by Quartey, whose mother was African American and father Ghanaian, having lived in the United States for many years, after spending much of his youth in Ghana. He practices medicine in Pasedena, California, and had only returned to Ghana a year before publishing the novel.In his review for the LA Times, Tim Rutten described the novel as having "fluent and realistic" dialogue that is engaging, while also developing compelling "plot, character and an interesting setting". In a write up for "Ghanaweb.com", Ghanaian "Kofi Amenyo" described the novel as a "delightful read" but extensively critiqued it the novel as inauthentic, because "Quartey doesn’t really know much about rural life in Ghana" and that Quartey shows " a peculiar interest (almost an obsession) in the Ghana that appeals to the foreign tourist."".
