Award-winning Nigerian author and media entrepreneur Cynthia ‘Tasha’ Osajibenedict is once again capturing hearts and headlines with the release of her latest book titled If These Eyes Could Talk.
The new collection of short stories, already sparking buzz in literary circles, delves into themes of passion, emotional entanglement, and the raw intensity of human connection.
Known for her daring storytelling and deep character exploration, Cynthia’s new work pushes boundaries as it follows the steamy, tumultuous relationship between Muna and Lanre—a fictional couple whose chemistry leaps off the pages with electrifying force. In this compelling collection, Osajibenedict explores how desire can both heal and unravel; raising questions about love, vulnerability, and the cost of emotional intimacy.
Described by readers as “bold, unapologetic, and emotionally gripping,” If These Eyes Could Talk builds on the author’s growing catalogue of critically acclaimed books, which include Dear Naija Girl, Sex After Harmattan, and A Language of Flowers.
“This book is not for the faint-hearted. It’s about characters that love hard, fall fast, and make no apologies for their desires. I want readers to feel every heartbeat, every tear, and every moment of tension,” she revealed.
Cynthia’s literary works have long centered on giving voice to women’s experiences.
Her debut, Dear Naija Girl, became a cultural touchstone, opening up vital conversations about identity and empowerment. Sex After Harmattan offered witty but daring insights into modern relationships in Nigerian society, while A Language of Flowers provided a reflective guide to navigating womanhood and sisterhood.
Beyond her writing, Osajibenedict is the founder of Tashtalks Media and the visionary behind the Dear Naija Girl initiative—a global platform fostering sisterhood and authentic storytelling among Nigerian women.
