Book Reviews of Accident of Birth: A Novel
Book Review: An Engaging Book Of Social Importance
Summary: 5 Stars
Accident of Birth is a compelling drama about Reba, a woman caught between two loves. Her present husband Carl and her ex husband.
A story about holding on then realizing you have to let go and move forward. When her ex husband is held for crimes against humanity Reba is compelled to help him, putting a strain on her marriage to Carl, but Reba needs closure. This is a great book club discussion book because of the many issues it represents. The relationship between Africans and African Americans, the difference in traditions and customs. This makes you painfully aware of the social standards in America and the need for understanding and tolerance. The unjust treatment of people simply from an accident of birth. I was left satisfied, with an ache and a smile.
An engaging book of social importance. A powerful read.
