Description

From the Booker Prize-winner Ben Okri: a classic love story set in a country trying to come to terms with its past. An epic of daily life, DANGEROUS LOVE is a story of doomed love, of star-crossed lovers, separated not by their families, but by the very circumstances of their lives. 'I hope among my novels this one achieves something I have long sought.' BEN OKRI.

Reviews

'Had me enchanted from the first page to the last.' Sunday Telegraph. 'Poetic writing of a very high order. Tender, nightmarish, wise and soulful.' Daily Telegraph.
