INFIDELITY- and its grim repercussions
Infidelity. Adultery. Fornication. These words are often used interchangeably and constitute part of the substantive theme of countless books over the decades, centuries. So many works reflect this, and men in particular seem to get most incensed when they detect such traits in their partner. In Sidney Sheldon 's Bloodline for one, blatant promiscuity in the part of a lady results in the young woman’s knees being shattered and destroyed at the end! There is a lot of promiscuity/infidelity in African books too. E.g renowned author Chinua Achebe writes about sexual propensities of young Odili in the book, A man of the people . But it is not only Odili, as Langa the "big man" seduces lots of women (including Odili's girl!), he buys other women, like a female lawyer too. Dickson Ighavin i's Death is a Woman is a thriller... with raw details, often disturbing of sexual indiscretions, incandescent emotions and feelings, anger, betrayal despair...
