It’s a beautiful story that shreds the heart about two boys growing up in Nigeria. One is confident in his sexuality and not ashamed to be a gay man while bearing all the hatred and violence faced by that decision, and another is ashamed and struggling to come to grips with his sexuality but who ultimately can’t fight forever what his heart wants.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 𝐍𝐎𝗪: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐓 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐇 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐁 by 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I’m about halfway through this one and enjoying the way these three women’s lives have intersected, forming an unlikely friendship as together they tackle and share the highs and lows of their lives.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ 𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒 𝐃𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐑 by 𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐥⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ My favourite genre is historical fiction, especially surrounding either of the world wars, and I’m a huge fan of Kristin Harmel’s writing, so to say this novel is one of my most-anticipated reads of the year would be an understatement. I am so excited to start this one and can’t wait to sit down, hopefully by tomorrow, and immerse myself in it.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ❓How about you Bookworms? Participate and tag me.
