The Seasons of Beento Blackbird

De: Akosua Busia

Narrado por: Akosua Busia

Writing under the name Beento Blackbird, Solomon Wilberforce writes best-selling books that reconnect Africa's children around the world with their glorious heritage.

Solomon's own personal life, however, is curiously disconnected. He spends his winters on Cape Corcos Island with the midwife who brought him into the world when she was only nine years old. In the spring he travels to New York to be with his beautiful and ultra-modern literary agent. His summers are spent with an innocent woman-child in a native village in Ghana.

But when his father dies, Solomon is forced to break this cyclical pattern to attend the funeral, and all of the neat compartments of his life begin to tumble in on one another.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Busla's elegance and passion immerse the listener in Solomon's search for his heritage and the struggle of the women who are caught up in his search for their independent and separate identities." ( AudioFile)

Wonderful!

I truly enjoyed this story! The narration was wonderful and the story was beautiful. One of my very favorites.

Multi faceted intercontinental love story

Thoroughly enjoyed this captivating story of the complex life of the main character, Beento Blackbird.

Awakening is inevitable!!!

This book made my heart happy 🌞 I see life through a clear lens, lens that were foggy before. The appreciation for everything and everyone I have is magnified…. Any think else to come is a blessing….. going to the mother land, it’s rituals and customs were soul clinching…. Not a book that I would have selected. It was a suggested read! I’m grateful to experience it and look forward to more of the same….. thank you ChaCha for recommending 😘

Beautiful Black Love!

I loved the story telling and the sensuality and the poetic words that were shared.

Great book!

This book was awesome and the author did an amazing job reading. The only thing I didn't like was the voice she used for the main character, Solomon, it was off putting. Otherwise, standing ovation for Ms. Busia.

Beautifully written and performed

This book was an amazing love story that was so beautifully written. The author eloquently developed the characters so that you fell in love with them or loved to hate them. I love the souls searching and growth of each character. The audio performance was spectacular, I felt like I was watching a play. Well done.
