This is my eighth year at reviewing books I believe deserve a five out of five and I’ve come to that time again when I’m writing about my recently published book, “Slow Poison.”
Here’s the back cover blurb:
In 1960s Tanzania, Aliya is cherished by her grandfather yet overshadowed by a mother who never truly sees her. When political upheaval strips her family of almost everything and tragedy shatters the one bond that sustained her, Aliya is thrust into a life shaped by loss and silence.
A fleeting romance leads to a forced marriage, betrayal and devastating violence. Fleeing scandal, grief and danger, Aliya begins again in Vancouver, but whispers of her past follow and almost everything she has tried to bury refuses to stay hidden.
As buried love and guilt resurface, Aliya must confront the truth she has carried across continents— some pasts cannot be outrun only faced.
The ebook and paperback is available to Amazon.ca
I lived in Tanzania’s Dar es Salaam for several years and will be writing about my time there on my travel blog: https://malleestanley.wordpress.com
