Catherine reminds me of an enigma wrapped within a riddle. When she writes, she skips between the poetic and the dramatic. Her highlights of the African lifestyles of herself, of authors whom she admires, and the many nuances of love keeps you wondering and pondering the passage of life.

Good, vivid imagery! Nice!
I'm so thrilled you ended up publishing this one as it is beautifully done! Your comments truly are their own works of art :)
Very good. One comment you mention "she'll be barren soon." I guess you are implying that by giving birth she will soon be sterile and incapable of producing further offspring. Or am I reading this wrong? Anyhow good work.
Nice 👍
