Spirit of the Ancestor

Augustine Oyamisa Oyowe

For generations, Banfield has remained in the hands of the Collins family, ever since Joseph Collins laid its foundation and began sheep farming. In accordance with his wishes, the responsibility of carrying on the family legacy has always passed to the male heir.

 

But when Fred Collins, one of the last surviving male descendants of Joseph, faces the task of naming an heir, he is troubled. With no sons to inherit the farmstead - and no word from his estranged brother, Joe Collins, who left for America years ago - Fred is left with a difficult decision.

Upon his death, he entrusts Banfield to his daughter Anna, violating the injunction of the patriarch Joseph Collins.


Years later, when Joe Collins returns to England, he is shocked to find Banfield in ruins - no longer the thriving farmstead he once knew.

 

Join Joe Collins as he sets out to investigate what went wrong in Spirit of the Ancestor.
