Description

Explore the extraordinary imagination of Booker Prize-winner and visionary author Ben Okri – one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary literature.

'I wanted to find the right balance between the unforced beauty of art and the rough truth of life' BEN OKRI

Set in 1970s Nigeria, in a country trying to come to terms with the atrocity of its recent civil war, Dangerous Love introduces us to Omovo, a young artist. Omovo is living in a compound with his father and his father's second wife when he falls passionately and hopelessly in love with Ifeyinwa, a beautiful young married woman.

An epic of daily life, this is a story of star-crossed lovers, separated not by their families but by the very circumstances of their lives.
