The Days of Afrekete is a subtle but brilliant novel that explores ideas of how one’s life could have gone differently with one single choice, and how an individual we know for a short time can change us forever. It kicks off with one of its two main characters, Liselle, learning that her politician husband is facing corruption charges. During this revelation, she runs into an old college friend (or more?) Selena. The women dive back into memories of their past, and begin to find themselves through each other during a crossroads in the lives they didn’t mean to lead. The tone can only be described as human with some indisputably hilarious moments woven together with deeply meaningful ones.
