More about Starstruck
Nina’s book – the first launched by Partridge Africa – is a romantic novel set against the timely setting of the current football fiesta. As a further dimension, her homeland, Ghana, fielded a strong team this year that presented a challenge to the formidable members of its division.
Starstruck celebrates the transformation and self-searching that take place through the course of finding and catching the one you love. In the novel, a famous but self-centred soccer star, Roland Degraft, finds himself infatuated with two strong-spirited young women, neither of whom is falling at his feet as he’d anticipated. To find his right match, he needs to discover the humility involved in giving yourself wholeheartedly – and leaving your own heart open – to another person.
Nina states that Starstruck is only the beginning of her writing ambitions. “I really hope that someday I can just be a writer and nothing else,” she says. “My writing is more of a personal thing — a gift, if you will — that I plan to hone into a skill. I have a very active imagination, and I create stories from almost everything that happens around me.”
Partridge Africa looks forward to reading more of Nina’s stories, and congratulates her once again on Starstruck!
