Title: Season of crimson blossoms
Description: "Season of Crimson Blossoms tells the captivating story of an illicit affair between a twenty-five-year-old street gang leader, Hassan Reza, and a devout fifty-five-year-old widow and grandmother, Binta Zubairu, who yearns for intimacy after the sexual repression of her marriage and the pain of losing her first son. This story of love and longing--set in a conservative Muslim community in Nigeria--reveals deep emotions that defy age, class, and religion. This novel gives a unique perspective on life and relationships in Northern Nigeria, a region vastly under-represented in the body of world literature."--provided by Amazon.com.
