Love is never easy, it isn’t meant to be. It spoke volumes of every beautiful, aching moment within love and relationships, the bittersweet, scary journeys of hardships mingled with the magic and candy floss lightness of blossoming and growing romance. I went into this book thinking it would be one thing, but it struck me like a cold slap of water, a raw and emotional train wreck of love, heartbreak and everything in between. This is a heartbreaking page-turner that asks: Can a resounding love with a perfect beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people? ![]() ![]() ![]() The one thing that could save them might also be the very thing that pushes their marriage beyond the point of repair.Īll Your Perfects is a profound novel about a damaged couple whose potential future hinges on promises made in the past.

Many young girls trek from the northern part of the country to the southern part where they believe there is more money, only to end up carrying goods for people so as to make money. It is very disheartening the number of young and beautiful ladies you see in the streets of our cities at night ready to open their legs for men in return for money, the least talk about kaayaayee the better. Many young ladies (women) resorts to prostitution. Sakawa which is believed to be the fastest means of all is resorted to by many young men. Many therefore fall on so many weird means. Ironically however many of these youth are not willing to go through the right and acceptable channels to acquire their money. The minds of many youth in Nigeria today are therefore preoccupied with so many ideas as to how to make lots and lots of money to enable them wear the best of clothes, eat the bests of foods, ride the best of cars and probably run the best chicks in town. ![]() ![]() One is therefore tempted to say that money rules the world, if that in fact is not the reality. Money is even needed when one wants to attend to the call of nature. Before one can eat he needs money, before you can clothe yourself you need money. Money is described and seen by many as a necessary evil. ![]() ![]() This was the first time that I had ever come across such a unique writing technique. The beginning of the story, entitled The End of the Kai, provided an intriguing introduction where the point of view flows wonderfully from that of a dove to an impoverished child to a black crow to characters in peril. ![]() ![]() I found it nearly impossible to put down, which my wife did not appreciate. While on holiday in August I took my son's copy and read through the book in three days. He insisted that I read it because he knew that I was going to appreciate the deep Eastern philosophy that permeated the story (I was stationed at the Royal Navy's base in Hong Kong back in the late 70's and became immersed in Chinese philosophy). My eldest son is an avid reader and read through this book in two days. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments Transcendence by Shay Savage![]() ![]() Savage’s books many books span a wide variety of topics and sub-genres with deeply flawed characters. ![]() That doesn’t always mean you’ll feel good, but I want my readers to be connected enough to my characters to care.” Savage holds a degree in psychology, and she brings a lot of that knowledge into the characters within her stories.įrom the author: “It’s my job to make you FEEL.

In the almost two years Suren, as she is known in Faerie, lived in the Court of Teeth, she was tortured and profoundly emotionally abused by her parents. Born a faerie, she was raised in the human realm in a loving family until her truly evil parents, Lady Nore and Lord Jarel, kidnapped her. Wren is one traumatized blue skinned changeling.

Of course, it's very easy for me to say all this when I'm referring to things which did not affect me personally. But we mustn't let ourselves be governed by a rose-tinted view of the past it is a dangerous blinker on the critical mind, and most attempts to recapture said past result in failure.

One of the big steps we take in becoming adults is learning to accommodate our nostalgia for the things we loved as a child. ![]() ![]() ![]() Taia has a small, compact body, alert brown eyes, and the faint fuzz of a moustache.
