| STORY DESCRIPTION VANESSA KANOMBE`S HUSBAND`S DREAM is an imaginary love story of a wonderful Rwandan lady Vanessa Kanombe living in imaginary Rwanda in 1982 together with her adulterous husband Simon Gato, her divinely graceful, sweeter, younger sister Dalida Kanyange, her husband`s divinely attractive secretary Sandrina Uwambayinzobe and different lovers.
About two o`clock a.m. on July 1, 1982, Vanessa Kanombe awakened. All of a sudden, she heard her husband dreaming, speaking loudly, but unconsciously: ``Sandrina Uwambayinzobe, my saccharine friend, I love you so much indeed; but do not tell my wife. Your sweet thighs are so wonderful to me. I want you once again, my sweet baby. Let`s do it once again. You are so sweet to me. You are sweeter than my wife indeed. You are sweeter than Ballantina, too.``
Vanessa decides to keep the dream a secret from her husband but sets about discovering if it has any basis in truth.
Throughout the novel, Vanessa Kanombe`s past sexual experiences and her husband`s imagined love affairs with his secretary constantly affect her thoughts, her decisions and her actions.
Her three inner voices in her mind constantly intervene to discuss her haunting conflicts, to advise her how to react, or to make comments on what she is watching or what she is doing - they make comments when she is watching erotic movies; they make comments when her husband or her lovers are making love to her.
