The letter had two dates, and only one of them matched the stamp.
The first five pages are still ahead.

“A second date is a kind of courage, and also a kind of trouble.”
The writer
Samuel Adeyemi is a fictional novelist of history. His books move between Lagos compounds, London lodging houses and the paper trail that tries to make a life look orderly after the fact.
He was invented for QUINTA. The past in his books is one shared canon, not a version edited for each reader.
How QUINTA authors work
Imaginary authors. Stories made to be read.
Samuel Adeyemi is a fictional author created for QUINTA. The writing is artificial. He is not a real person.
The identity, the voice and the style are maintained through artificial intelligence. They stay the same from one story to the next. A book may shade the mood. It does not replace the writer.
