Today I will be discussing Across the
Desert by Charles Umerie. This book is not out yet, but I was privileged to
read it. The author did an amazing job putting the story together. The book
discusses feminism, religion and other social issues we face today. And the
author did it within an intriguing story. This is not the type of book you will
get tired of reading, because it’s totally something new. The culture and the people
are not what we are used to, and you will definitely learn a lot reading this
book.
It’s a historical fiction that took place
in the 15th century. The author also painted a picture of how people
in that era behaved, especially how they treated women. One of the things I
learned from the book was that the empire this book was centered on was once
the world’s supplier of gold. I also learned that someone from the empire
discovered America 200 years before Christopher Columbus.
There are a lot of things to learn in this
book, and it’s also a quick read. If you are really into Historical fiction and
love movies like Troy or 300, this is a book for you.
That’s all I can share now about this book.
Once it’s out, I will do a full review on it.
I advise you to follow @charlesumerie on
