Official Review: Kuimba by Priscilla B Shuler

[DorcasToo]

Sounds like a really interesting historical fiction. Looking forward to reading this. Congratulations on BOTD. Thanks for your epic review.

[Fazzier]

This sounds like an interesting read. I like the fact that it is also a proverbial tale of hope for hopeless cases. I like historical fictions, and I'm, therefore, looking forward to reading it. Thank you for this wonderful review!

I'm interested in finding out why the boy is so special. It seems like a very interesting book to read.

[Sam Ibeh]

Wow! This book was set around WWI and it had nothing to do with the war. It's quite interesting to see the events that accompanied the birth of this blue-eye heaven-sent African-American child.

This must really be an interesting read, to see the coalition of an African American through childbirth. Kudos to the author. Thanks for this review.

I'm so happy to read a book that was based on the miracle of like at those times. Instead of the wars and slaves. Its nice people still had faith and the belief in miracles. Giving birth is one of them but that also they come in different forms even ones that people don't believe should be right. Never should you judge gods work or criticize it in any means. There should be more Offies' out there that believe there child is a descended of God. To the author thanks for the point of views of many out there and the things African Americans had to deal with while giving birth in those days. I could never think i could had done that.

It's pretty cool how there were many unusual events kind of like miracles following the birth of a blue-eyed child. The title of the book, Kuimba, sounds intriguing as well. Nice review!

Thanks for the review, it is a different theme from what one would expect for the time period. But given what happened during WWII it is fitting that the book has a theme of redemption and second chances.

[LovelyladyLovely1980]

This was a wake up for me. I've cried on movies about things that have happened in those days. The things African Americans had to go through is sad. The one thing i loved the most they kept faith in are God all mighty. Despite what others thought. They turned the other cheek and smiled. They have more guts then i would have ever in those days. To the author thanks for making me look at myself in a whole different view.

Thank you for a good review. God never leaves His created to suffer without His intervention. A miracle indeed. The eyes of the boy prove that God sent him for a special purpose. This must be a very good book to read.

[Shrabastee Chakraborty]

While the book sounds promising, I do not think the pace would suit me. Thanks for the candid review.

[Nuel Ukah]

Sounds interesting. I like the author's perspective of slavery.

[NetMassimo]

The kind of unofficial slavery depicted in the novel seems the same we had in Europe during Middle-Age and even later, when peasants were basically their landlords' slaves.

[Wyland]

I like uplifting books especially taking one from a downtrodden situation like slavery to something more emancipating. Thanks for the review.

A blue-eyed African-American boy with healing powers is definitely a protagonist who stirs the readers' imagination. I liked that the plot development is gradual and that the antagonist has a second chance. Thanks for a great review!
