The novel

"A rare Nollywood romance story set in Jos."

— Ikenna Okeh, author of Rogues Of The East

Thirty-six letters sent, with one written reply that remained unfinished. She read every one and answered none. Seven years later, in a Jos shopping mall, she is wearing another man's ring.

Chizitere: a defence lawyer now, a wife, a mother of one. Kenechukwu: a Nollywood actor with a co-star for a girlfriend, a life built in front of cameras. Ebere — a London-trained actress, sharp-eyed — is not a woman who misses things.

But before Jos, there was Amegu, Christmas 1999 — a fortnight that convinced two lovers that they had found forever. The tree trunk, his late father's wristwatch, a thumb to the moon — these moments made two weeks feel like years.

Then, outside the mall, after seven years of silence, his eyes go to her hand before they find her face.

The unfinished letter could finally reach its ending.

Nothing in their worlds will outlive the words inked in the letters they wrote to each other.
