Dear Fiction Addicts,
Welcome to July! The first half of the year
is gone and if we haven’t hit our targets yet, we still have time to put in
effort and set the ball in motion. Take that first step and keep moving.
Remember to work smart and not hard.
June had its share of woes and sadness. The
killings in Jos, Plateau State and the petrol tanker explosion on Micheal
Otedola Bridge, along Lagos Ibadan Expressway, Lagos that claimed the lives of
so many Nigerians in the last month is just very sad. Our prayers are with
those who lost loved ones in these ugly incidents.
This month we will read An American Marriage by Tayari
Jones and The Girl On The Train by Paula
Hawkins. The Girl On the Train was a special request by one of our readers -@a_jokeade.
An American
Marriage
by Tayari Jones
Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the
American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist
on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of
their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have
imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial
knows he didn’t commit. Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself
bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best
man at their wedding. As Roy’s time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on
to the love that has been her center. After five years, Roy’s conviction is
suddenly overturned, and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life
together.
This stirring love story is a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three people who are at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control. An American Marriage is a masterpiece of storytelling, an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon with the past while moving forward—with hope and pain—into the future.

The Girl On
The Train by Paula Hawkins
Rachel catches
the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same
signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She's even started to feel
like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. 'Jess and Jason', she
calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. If only Rachel could be
that happy. And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the
train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed. Now Rachel has a
chance to become a part of the lives she's only watched from afar. Now they'll
see; she's much more than just the girl on the train...
That’s it
folks! You know what to do. Always remember
Love,
FictionAddict
