- Synopsis
- From the Booker Prize–winning author of The Famished Road, a classic story of doomed love in a country trying to come to terms with its violent past.An epic of daily life, Dangerous Love is one of Ben Okri&’s most accessible and most disarming novels. Omovo is an office worker and artist who lives at home with his father and his father&’s second wife. In the communal world of the compound in which he lives, Omovo has both friends and enemies, but his most important relationship is with Ifeyiwa, a beautiful young married woman whom he loves with an almost hopeless passion—not because she doesn&’t return his love, but because they can never be together. Against the backdrop of Nigeria&’s civil war, Ben Okri creates an atmosphere where passion takes on a wholly different dimension as danger, greed, hunger, and betrayal loom at every turn.
