I love you the way a river loves an ocean. I love you the way a star loves the deep, dark night. I love you the way a leaf loves the tree, even in the parting autumn breeze. You and I will meet again the way a dawn meets the night, the way a brook meets the sea, the way a tree meets the sky. It is not over, my friend, it is not over.

This novel is about a young African woman, Amara Nwosu, who migrates from Botswana to South East England in search of love and freedom. Under the traditional wedding practices in her hometown, she was under compulsion to marry Afolabi upon the payment of a lucrative bride price to her father. But after her move, she has her eyes full of hope where dreams are born and fears fade. Along the way, she meets a young British historian, Bryce Atkinson, and together they journey along the trails of life. Just when they thought their fates were tied together, some cruel blow hit, and they were set apart. Repeatedly, they are tested by every challenge that storms their life and hurls them into a gulf of despair and sadness. But somehow, they manage to rise and see the light of life. They looked beyond the broken pieces. Cruelty whispered, but they did not hear. Treachery spoke, but they did not listen. Aridity screamed, but they looked for the flowers. And so, they were reborn in one another's love. They did not shatter, they did not break. From an ugly mess, they arose in search of beauty. From powerlessness, they regained their power. From the biggest loss of their lives, they could rediscover life again, and this time, they found it together, on the premises of Sudeley Castle, where they once ignited one another.
