Publisher's Synopsis
Can love survive when life pulls you in different directions?
In The Edge of Forever by John Ndayisaba, Gabriel and Laira's journey begins in a quiet village where childhood friendship blossoms into an innocent and unspoken love. Their world is simple, filled with laughter under the stars, whispered dreams by the river, and a bond rooted in the rhythms of a life untouched by ambition.
But when Laira is offered a scholarship in the distant, dazzling city, everything changes. Separated by distance, culture, and evolving dreams, their letters weave a story of hope, longing, and the inevitable transformation that time demands. As Laira is shaped by new experiences and Gabriel remains anchored to their shared past, the space between them grows - not just in miles but in the people they are becoming.
Through vivid prose and heartbreaking honesty, John Ndayisaba captures the universal ache of growing up and growing apart. The Edge of Forever is not just a love story; it's a meditation on the beauty and fragility of human connection - the kind that defines us, shapes us, and sometimes, asks us to let go.
Tender, nostalgic, and profoundly moving, this novel will speak to anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost something precious, or wondered if two souls meant to be together can find their way back when the world has changed them both.
Perfect for fans of lyrical romance, coming-of-age tales, and emotionally rich storytelling.
