Description
Wings of a Butterfly is an unputdownable novel filled with intrigue, mystery and desire. It's a love story that's romantic and evocative, yet its greatest strength comes from the women at the heart of it. The novel explores nostalgia, tragedy and heartache, as well as finding absolution to move on from the past. The omniscient narrator returns to her past to embrace the thrust of adolescent love - questioning that familiar connect between the bond of friendship, infatuation, desire and obsession.
Wings of a Butterfly explores young love. The novel is told in parallel time with two converging love stories depicted through the emblematic butterfly. The first is the omniscient narrator's love for Marisa, and the second is avant-gardist Aunt Iris's love for Uncle John. Four distinctive characters mesh and collide to create a tale of love, truth, unforeseen betrayal and adversity. Our omniscient narrator has been obsessed with Marisa since they first met as children, hankering for her lifelong friend's acceptance but only finds comfort and consolation in Uncle John, who later falls madly in love with free-spirited Aunt Iris. The novel rides on the power of new journeys, facing painful emotions as a result of tragedy and heartache.
