Once Upon a Woman

Middle-aged Angelou Fanteni is unassuming, unexpectant of favours from life and unmarried. A painfully diffi cult past forced her to fl ee her native country many years in the past, crossing half of a continent before ending up in modern-day South Africa.

In the new nation, stylishly known as Rainbow Nation, Angelou rose above personal tragedy to emerge as a leading light in one of the countrys most-respected ivory towers. Resigned to a life of spinsterhood, she suddenly; unexpectedly finds herself discovering love again after having given up on such an indulgence.

Things move fast maybe too fast up to the point where Angelou is about to be married to a gifted, admirable, younger man.

Events however suddenly conspire, yet again, to bring her face-to-face with a past she thought she had buried for good.

This compelling story twists and turns and navigates through so much emotions, drama, and suspense before climaxing in earth-shattering revelations that result in even more unbelievable consequences.
