Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a challenging, necessary read. But with Robin Miles narrating, the story became something I couldn’t stop ‘reading.’ It is a book written colloquially, so I think without narration, it might have seemed bad writing. But as you hear how the language is spoken, it feels quite natural.
I have never heard the term “Yellow Wife.” But it makes sense. How horrid the things humans have done to humans. I don’t understand that at all. To force people to work beyond their capacity or force women to marry those they didn’t love or chose to be with. It is all baffling.
At any rate, I am glad there are authors to take us into the past to see the kinds of things that have happened.
Since it was based on someone who had existed and that person’s history, the fiction around it became something believable. Just bring a box of Kleenex and gird up your loins for a good story that includes the cruelties of humans against humans.
This sounds intriguing. 💜

Thanks for sharing a review on another interesting read. If there will be an audio book too, this would be fantastic. I am just working on my listening skills. 😉 Best wishes, Michael
This was the Audio version. I saw reviews about the written version and many said it was badly written. I think hearing the story was far better with the accents of the people played so well by the narrator, Robin Miles. I think you’ll like it. Even if the subject matter is hard to read about.
