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. Set in a Nigeria struggling to cope with the aftermath of civil war, this is a story of star-crossed lovers, separated not by their families, but by the very circumstances of their lives"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Married women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Artists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Nigeria $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Magic realist fiction. $2 lcgft 775 08 $i Reproduction of (manifestation): $a Okri, Ben. $t Dangerous love $d London : Phoenix House, 1996 $w (DLC) 96214543 776 08 $i Online version: $a Okri, Ben. $t Dangerous love $d New York : Other Press, 2022 $z 9781635422672 $w (DLC) 2022040651 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230310010640.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2CEBB30BF1111ED8AFE88FD4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
