Kanika, Taban and Matani become more vibrant than Fi, who never outgrows the cookie-cutter mold of a woman needing excitement and fulfillment, but Hamilton weaves memorable characters and elemental emotions in artful prose with the lofty theme of Western-imposed "education" versus a village's perceived perils of exposure to the developed world. When two books go missing, tensions arise between those who welcome all that the books represent and those who prefer the time-honored oral traditions of the tribe. Taban, known as Scar Boy Jwahir, Matani's wife and most of the town elders think these books threaten the tradition and security of Mididima. Not everyone shares such esteem for the project, however. In Midnight, golden girl Elena Gilbert is back from the Dark Dimension, having successfully freed her vampire boyfriend Stefan Salvatore from imprisonment. There, Matani, the village teacher Kanika, an independent, vivacious young woman and Kanika's grandmother Neema are the most avid proponents of the library and the knowledge it brings to the community.
