Review of Sister B
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. Author David Charles Hart's "Sister B" narrates the gripping tale of Willa Mae, also known as Sister B, an African American lady of resolve in the 1930s. Racial tensions and World War II provide fresh hurdles for her as she moves from Mississippi to Portland, Oregon, in search of a better life. In this novel, Hart provides an engrossing story that explores the interwoven paths of Sister B and Akio, illuminating the racial tensions prevalent at the time. The story is made more nuanced by the author's deft portrayal of themes of reconciliation and forgiveness.
My favourite section of the book is the story of Akio Hoshimoto, since it is both heartwarming and depressing. I was captivated by the love story between him and Misaki. I admire how this novel deftly intertwines the lives of Sister B and Akio Hashimoto against the backdrop of momentous historical occurrences. Observing the intersection of their journeys and their strategies for overcoming obstacles is fascinating.
Sister B is my favourite character in this novel because of her deep character development, which is something I really admire about her. Her character develops in a genuine and engaging way, from her early hardships in Mississippi to her voyage to California and her engagement in activism. I respect her fortitude and will to improve her own and her son Maurice's lives.
This book has nothing about it to dislike. The fact that I could not find a single mistake in the book indicates that it has been expertly edited, which improves the reading experience. The use of racist slurs, sexual content, and profanity may turn off sensitive readers from this novel. I give this book a five-star rating because of its flawless narration, historical correctness, and overall presentation, which includes images. Readers of historical romance stories who enjoy strong female leads should definitely read this.
