A brain illness develops in David and the mass deportation of Indians from Nigeria sets the two families crashing their faiths. Will they survive? As they battle differently to keep alive the chord that holds them together.

It’s a promising story that tells about cultural clashes and racial integration. Loved the way the story turned out to be.

With a descriptive narration and intriguing plot, Onyeka Nwelue weaves an unusual Tale of Love. The story starts on a slow note and it takes a bit of time for readers to connect to the story. After a few chapters, the story is gripping and picks up really well. With each chapter, it gets more intense and absorbing. The way he describes the characters and the bond they shared is commendable. David’s character is amazingly sketched ad the bond between Eunice and David is beautifully described.

Also Read: A Price to Love by Smita Das Jain – Book Review

I enjoyed reading the conversations and David’s part of the story the most. The new characters are gracefully introduced by the authors which creates an impact on readers’ minds.

The crisp engrossing writing style of the author keeps the readers invested in. The way both parents and families try to make things easy for David is well written. It’s a slow-paced story and a heavy read. With each chapter, the puzzle gets a bit complicated with many characters but it was interesting.

The climax was thrilling and unpredictable. The last few chapters were the turning point. Loved the way the story turned out to be. It’s an engrossing read that you can count on.
