FACTS OF LOVE

About the Book

The facts of love are many, but none are truer than the ones Catanna came to learn the hard way. You cannot learn to love, for it is not a skill. You cannot evade love, for it is as inherent a part of life as is breathing. The word ‘fall’ in the ‘term fall in love’ does not quite belong, for love elevates you, changes you, and turns you into the best, most beautiful and rounded version of yourself that you can possibly imagine. Catanna was to learn these facts the hard way. Nothing was really truly a mystery to Alexander. He was a man of great intellect, well-read, social, an avid reader and not to mention extremely handsome. He was the Prince Charming and the perfect eligible bachelor for every single female in the vicinity and far-flung areas alike. As polite as he was to all, none truly ever caught his eye till he happened to set them upon Catanna, who thoroughly lacked social graces and knew nothing of politeness. Hell-bent on proving to the haughty princes that love did not only exist in fairy tales, Alexander and Catanna embark on an exhilarating journey that will leave them both breathless and disoriented. Between the two stands, Catanna’s cousin Edward, her uncle’s dying wish, an impending marriage, and binding will. Edward, too, is betrothed to another whom he loves, but bound by his duty to his people. But as we mentioned earlier, the facts of love are many. What more have the three learned? Does love demand sacrifice? or Does love conquer all?

About the Author

Ban A. Sharif Al Nabulsi started writing at the young age of 12. “I would write short stories and poetry, but much of the writings were lost when we shifted from Kuwait to Jordan during the Gulf war. I spent years struggling to adapt to the change and thinking about the writings I had lost. I started writing again at the age of 15 and have been writing since. In 1994, in an interview with BBC, I discussed the terror of war, the struggles of leaving home and my single ray of hope amid the chaos, my writing. Today I am a mother of four, a pharmacist employed in a pharmaceutical distribution company, and I am a writer spreading hope, love and positivity. My latest work is a work of fantasy. Through it, I want to help people discover hidden wonder and magic that has gotten lost in the chaos of the world we live in today.”
