repulsive pictures, Ozomenu is drawn into the magical, attractive world of beliefs, which exists not only in retold legends. On the street you can meet angels and ghosts in pointy shoes, or encounter an evil witch. Good and Evil walk the earth and have not only human, but also magical embodiment. Ozomena's mission is to become a leopard and spread goodness. And somewhere nearby there is always another heroine, performing a completely different, terrible mission. This powerful debut explores the lengths two girls are willing to go (and sacrifice) to survive in a world of tradition where the word most women hear is "no."
