“He leapt through the air balletically”
Vanessa Walters, The Nigerwife

“Love burned brightly. But it cast such deep shadows.”
Vanessa Walters, The Nigerwife

“If she stayed in bed all day, the meals were still made, the flat still cleaned, the children taken care of, the lawn watered and trimmed. The message was clear. She was irrelevant. Free to go—without the children, of course.”
Vanessa Walters, The Nigerwife
