desertcart.com: Mustard Seed: 9781542045568: Ibrahim, Laila: Books

Review: A Must Read! - I thought Laila’s first book might have been a fluke because it was so good, and I cautiously bought book #2. I’m so engrossed in these books that I am transported by time. I love the families and the way their stories intersect. I have SO many books to read, but here I am.. moving on to book #3, because I know it will be fantastic!
Review: ... must admit that 'Yellow Crocus' is one of my favourite books from a lifetime of being an avid reader - Firstly I must admit that 'Yellow Crocus' is one of my favourite books from a lifetime of being an avid reader. I smiled and cried with Mattie and Lisbeth, as they formed a loving and complicated relationship in a time of great cruelty and injustice in the American South. They had become like dear friends by time I finished reading that book. Perhaps, my expectations were too high when I began this sequel. It is a story covering a much larger landscape and highlighting far more characters. Sometimes the long list of landowners and slaves became confusing; especially as some shared the same name or had several different names. It is beautifully written, as only Laila Ibrahim can write; but I missed the intimacy of the previous novel. The historical setting, at a time when America was supposed to be a Union and all slaves freed, was drawn with stark realism. Laws can be promulgated, but the implementation of those laws rely on the adherence of the public officials and leaders. I did not realize that even after the abolition of slavery some landowners in the South still kept men and women in conditions of cruel slavery. I learned a great deal about the plight of the black and coloured population in the Southern States from this book. I was horrified by their treatment and sickened by a situation of children left hopelessly adrift with no means of uniting with their families. This story was fascinating and appealed to me intellectually; whereas Yellow Crocus moved me emotionally. I would definitely recommend reading the latter before reading this book. The relationship between Mattie and Lisbeth requires understanding to avoid reader confusion.
