Book Review: Looking Back to Move Forward
Summary: 5 Stars
The Haunting of Hip-Hop is a well-written tale of how the past affects the future. Berry does it again weaving the past and the present. The underlying presence of the African drum is interspersed throughout the novel. We are introduced to Freedom, a successful hip-hop producer who is intrigued by a brownstone in Harlem that people feared was haunted. Freedom directs his lawyer, Ava to purchase the house for him. Ava becomes reacquainted with an old friend, Charles, a real estate attorney. Ava and Charles encounter a gathering of ghosts all of whom are a mission to settle scores in order to rest in peace. How will the ghost find peace?
The novel is full of surprises and twists to keep the reader enthralled to the end.
Berry has done an excellent job with The Haunting of Hip-Hop. She has a unique way of tying the historical influences with a present day storyline. The theme of honoring our past is alive in the novel. I look forward to the next literary offering by Berry.
