Publisher's Synopsis
John isn't exactly what you'd call a "ladies man." Down on his luck and dedicated to his hobbies, these days he's lucky if he can find a woman to talk to other than his mother. Fortunately, a fateful meeting has him bumping into Brenda, a fashionable estate agent who's as smart as she is beautiful. As luck would have it, the two hit it off, and John's eyes are slowly opened to a whole world of beauty that's been under his nose this whole time.Unfortunately for John, Brenda isn't the only woman after his heart, as colleague Celine secretly vies for his affections. In a similar twist of fate, Brenda's teen love Michael returns after a sixteen year absence, threatening to throw another spanner in the works for our two budding lovers. As the four characters' stories intertwine and over the course of this hugely entertaining romance story, each one realises that true love is always found in the most unlikely of situations.Family, possibility and romance are brought to the forefront in Boniface Ossai's novel, The Eccentric and the Quintessential. Through a series of highly personal and gut-wrenchingly intimate scenes, the life and love of John, Brenda, Celine and Michael is fully realised in the pages of Boniface Ossai's new novel. Brought together by chance, the lowest points of each of their lives makes way for some of the most exciting weeks they've ever had. Although none of them could ever imagine that their life could change overnight, there was no way for them to know what was just around the corner.
