Poised on the precarious threshold of womanhood and innocence, beautiful Adora Amadi has arrived at a crossroad in her life. The scholarship that she recently won would propel her into one of the most prestigious graduate schools in the country, located in the fast-paced city of Lagos; but it would also mean leaving the protective cocoon of her beloved family - that is if her iron-willed father relents on his belief that Lagos is an urban jungle where his only daughter will probably fall into the wrong hands. Her family is still haunted by the sudden death of her mother in a tragic car crash that leaves her father intent on obliterating the very essence of his being. A leading surgeon in the small metropolis of Enugu, Adora's father Dr. Chidi Amadi has decided to bury himself along with his wife - that is, bury himself in his work and ignore the emotional needs of his children, while constantly pushing them to be replicas of himself - high achievers. Adora has been engaged in a losing battle to extricate her father from the bleak world where he has locked himself as an escape from dealing with the debilitating pain caused by his wife's untimely death. Now she is faced with the daunting prospect of leaving him and her two brothers who need her now more than ever. Arriving in Lagos Adora encounters a hair-raising situation leading her to wonder if her father was right after all. But then steps in the suave Randy Okere and Adora finds herself hurtling on a collision course with danger and excitement as she finds herself inexorably drawn to this dreamy stranger even as her new friend Monica boldly makes a play for him while also gunning for his mother, a leading fashion designer whose clout and influence could possibly crystalize her dreams of stardom as a fashion model. As Monica's plans implode around her, she finds herself picking up the tattered pieces of her broken dreams while Adora finds herself drawn deeper into the excitement and intrigue of Randy Okere. And that was only the beginning.

Understanding Barthes, Understanding Modernism is a general assessment of the modern literary and philosophical contributions of Roland Barthes. The first part of the volume focuses on work published prior to Barthes's death in 1980 covering the major periods of his development from Writing Degree Zero (1953) to Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography (1980). The second part focuses both on the posthumously published material and the legacies of his work after his death in 1980. This later work has attracted attention, for example, in conjunction with notions of the neutral, gay writing, and critiques of everyday life. The third part is devoted to some of the critical vocabulary of Barthes in both the work he published during his lifetime, and that which was published posthumously.
