More quotes by Yvonne Maphosa

More lovers out there are dribbling or being dribbled, it’s the order of love these days

These stories are fiction, yes, but they’re also a mirror. They are a reflection of the emotional reality many people live in silence

That’s what I hope my work keeps doing. Not just telling stories but building relationships between like-minded people

I love entanglements because that’s how it is in the real world.

Each award feels like a recognition of all the passion and energy I pour into my stories
