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 country's 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.
