Praise
“Even the minor characters in Dangerous Love are fully realized—you know them intimately and are drawn to them with an intensity that has nothing to do with virtues or flaws but with the specific beauty and ugliness of individual souls inside bodies. Like an alchemist, Okri has channeled the ‘ancient, unyielding’ forces through a reordering of ‘familiar images,’ creating something universal at a time when the idea of the universal has long been thought impossible.” —New York Times Book Review
“Sublime…Okri’s beautiful prose has the cadence of poetry and a singular voice…this stands as one of Okri’s most powerful and accessible works.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Had me enchanted from the first page to the last.” —Sunday Telegraph
“Poetic writing of a very high order…tender, nightmarish, wise, and soulful.” —Daily Telegraph
“Intelligent and moving.” —The Spectator
“Even early in his career, Okri wrote devastating passages about the horrors of war…chilling in their effectiveness…readers will bask in the opportunity to watch a great writer’s development.” —Shelf Awareness
