Under my blanket, drifting eyes and one of such books clutched in my hands, I had come to believe this would happen to me, this maddeningly addictive love, I was waiting for him.
This book raised doubts and later made an unbeliever of me. Lakunle the hero was quite unlikeable; his pedantry and poverty, how does one proclaim love and not want to marry ones’ love? How does Sidi not make Lakunle see reason by devising a brilliant proposal causing plan in true heroine fashion? And Sadiku? Fairy Godmother of doom; leading Sidi into the arms of Baroka, the wily old fox of a king whose cunning wins him a new bride. This book was my timely intervention from fairydom and now? I Chika Eneanya living in St. Kitts still awaits love but with partial clarity, knowing what it could be.
