About the Book

In the city of Lagos, the commercial capital of West Africa, Anya, a newspaper reporter and Blossom, a former Miss World, are siblings whose fears and insecurities stem from the habits they picked up in their childhood and adolescence, in a society bedeviled by moral decay. They have been born and bred in the city of Lagos by parents that hailed from Egwuonwu, a remote rural community east of the Niger. Their conflicts are compounded by the scourge of HIV/AIDS which currently threatens to destroy the entire population. On one hand, Anya learns from his experiences characterized by dreams and shattered dreams, illusion and disillusion, an encounter with the swindlers, a robbery trial arising from association with evil friends, a near-suicide experience on account of an AIDS scare fuelled by a promiscuous past and lots of lessons he would never forget. For his strong-willed sister Blossom, alas, the lesson comes too late. Her friendship with Rose, a campus whore and cultist, compels her to worship at the shrine of Jezebel and brings her into intimacy with Romeo, a HIV-carrier on a revenge mission. What is the fate of the former beauty queen, when her chickens have come home to roost? This novel will captivate you from the opening chapter to the end, as it portrays human choices and their consequences in a manner that properly illustrates the Shakespearean saying: 'All that glitters is not gold.' "This novel offers a powerful message which no reader can resist..." - Daily Champion
