Love Marry Kill – Zukiswa Wanner

Description

Two couples. One steamy affair. And ninety-nine other problems.

Owami meets a man and believes they will live happily ever after. Three children later, she realises all that she thought they had wasn’t true when she finds out that her husband has rekindled a relationship with an ex-girlfriend. She escapes to her parents but fear for the future of her children and some manipulation from her in-laws and her mother, leads her to return to her marital home. This time, with open eyes.

Akani believes he has married close to the perfect girl. But when he quits his job to start a company and his wife becomes the main breadwinner, he notices that he has become a junior partner in what used to be a relationship of equals. Unable to deal with this state of affairs, he leaves home. Family intervention leads him back home to his wife and just when he thinks he can safely balance his loving life at home and the secret his wife knows nothing about, tragedy strikes.

Then on a rainy Johannesburg evening, Owami meets Akani and they both fall hopelessly in love. An intense relationship begins between the two and whatever they have found together, no marriage can put asunder. As they shoulder the weighty secrets and emotional baggage of their pasts, they must also weather the storms that threaten to separate them.

Zukiswa Wanner’s fifth novel is a thrilling tale of scorned love, resilience, healing love, retribution, losing yet finding oneself in love, and consequences.
