'What a
book! This is a fulsome, edifying celebration of love...a grand, sinuous
romantic epiphany...undulations of love (partially) facilitated by the
spontaneity and marvels of modern science. It is a work nonpareil in African
Literature. Everything works here, including the lilting, illuminating
flashbacks, and the pristine exhilarating love in the clouds - literally! The
epistolary ambience also holds one in thrall. Mbulelo Mzamane, esteemed SA
literary icon always exhorted Africans to celebrate their loved ones,
their partners - here is a fruition of his vision! Additionally, Skietreker is
a renowned poet, and his deftness in this wise shimmers, and grips like a
tourniquet. This is a forthright, wholesome, comprehensive work; lambent,
fulminating, yet satisfying. This work is a must-read! Cynics, nay-sayers,
pessimists - pull yourselves up by your lugubrious bootstraps! This riveting,
coruscating classic on Love is for real! My personal felicitations...'
- O Bolaji (novelist,
and literary critic)
