Hell Hath No Fury is an African Christmas Romance Anthology co-authored by 20 African Female Authors from very different countries writing very different genres of African Romance. I had the pleasure of reading Yuletide Sparks and below is a summary of the very well crafted story.
Yuletide Sparks by Christiana Agboni
The sparks were already flying from the beginning of this short and very interesting office Christmas story.
Victoria is a passionate and strong willed woman determined to have her way as she battles the level headed ‘Americanah’, Enejoh, for headship of the History and International Studies Department at Kogi State University. Nothing her friend, Iyeh, can say will sway her. She has great plans for the department, and the best interests of the students at heart. Plus, she has been working for ten years in the department, long enough to takeover the reigns of a leadership that is rightfully hers by seniority.
The sexist men on the board of the decision making panel feel she has very little experience in politics, and Enejoh himself is convinced she will run the department to the ground with her inflexible ways. It doesn’t stop him from admiring her however. He has no problems pursuing her and pursuing the department headship post at the same time. The two are mutually exclusive, and Victoria is a very beautiful woman. He can already tell she is as interested in him as he is in her. It’s obvious every time their eyes meet.
When the Vice Chancellor comes in and gives an ultimatum, Victoria and Enejoh must arrive at a compromise on who gets the headship position, and decide if their relationship will survive the battle.
The story is a passionate love-hate affair between two strong characters. Christiana does a good job of creating the complex chemistry between Victoria and Enejoh and we see their attraction for each other amidst their loathing of each other right from the start. I enjoyed Victoria’s internal jabs at Enejoh’s character and the balance that Iyeh brings to her spirited personality. The story also explores the fact that there are underlying reasons why people act the way they do, and that some character flaw are not without their origins.
Yuletide Sparks is aptly titled, as the cold air of the environment in Kogi State University mirrors Victoria’s initial personality before the constant clashes between her and Enejoh sparks a fire that warms them both and brings some cheer to the gloomy Yuletide season.
