Reseña del libro "Choices: A novel with a shocking twist (en Inglés)"
"Choices" is a suspenseful novel that takes the readers into the captivating world of Seyi, where the power of choice shapes the very fabric of destiny. Seyi is born to a father whose thirst for knowledge and wisdom knows no bounds. He is raised with a unique perspective that offers him a fundamental choice between education and skill, between the conventional and the free-spirited, between a life of crime and one of innocence, between fraud and virtue, beauty and ashes, slavery and freedom. From his father's "throne of books," Seyi imbibes the profound truth that having choices is the key to asserting control over one's life. Yet, as Seyi embarks on his journey through life, the ideals he's been instilled with collide head-on with the stark realities of the world around him. He finds himself thrust into a turbulent battle, encountering a group of young men who have grappled with the capricious hand of fate. Paul, Supo, Bade, and Solomon bear the scars of their pasts, victims of their circumstances, society's judgment, and their own flawed characters. They have made a solemn vow to leave no room for alternatives, marching down a path of crime unburdened by limits, morality, or scruples. In the midst of this clash of worlds, tragedy strikes when Seyi's hero, his father, meets an untimely end in a devastating car crash. Suddenly, Seyi is forced to confront a haunting question: Who truly wields the reins of control over our lives? Is it the hand of God, the whims of fate, or the choices we make in our journey through life? This gripping narrative unfolds against a backdrop of fictitious social malaise intertwined with the unvarnished realities of everyday existence. The author deftly employs metaphor to unveil the intricate dynamics of youthful exuberance, parental guidance's influence, and a lifelong mentor's enduring impact. Seyi and Yemi owe an eternal gratitude to their father and his "throne of books" for shedding light on the diplomatic pathways that allowed them to explore their passions in the shadow of mortality. Prepare to embark on a thought-provoking voyage, where the boundaries between choice, control, and destiny blur into a mosaic of profound insights and riveting storytelling.
