#BookFeature: Supernova by Faiz Yusuf





BLURB

Supernova is a coming-of-age story of how a person gets more than what he wishes for and loses more than he could bear. It is a result of when years later from a car accident and completely disappearing from the scenes, Ezra, a former well-known musician, decides to takes his narrative in his own hands from way media had twisted it previously.

Born as an orphan, things line up for Ezra in a way that he sees himself at the top of the world before realising what can push you up can pull you down too- with an even greater force.

In his own words, Ezra explains, “This story is not about how to achieve your dreams, though I did. This story is also not about how love arrives and leaves at unexpected times, even though it did. And again, this story is also not about how life is not a wish-granting factory and there will be a time you’ll be blamed for mistakes you never made, though I indeed was. This story is about everything that takes place in between those lines- the good, the bad and the worst, and that life will keep moving on no matter what, at a pace, you would mostly have little control over. 







PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

- Elena Jacobson, CEO, Infinity Advisors.
