It’s not Roots, Twelves Years a Slave, or even Django Unchained. Shade of the Sun is not the traditional telling of the events of slavery. Then how should Shade of the Sun be described? In a word, Brilliant.
By now, it seems that stories about slavery solely focus on the physical brutality of man’s inhumanity to others. Shade of the Sun, indeed has the brutality aspect, but the focus is on the psychological torture that haunts everyone on the plantation.
The outward manifestations of the torment that these poor souls, both black and white, endure are displayed in a wide variety of ways. From being haunted by the sins of their past, to the treatment of others because of it. As well as, by the torment they inflict upon themselves because of having no other options. Everyone suffers, because these humans exist in a system void of humanity.
Yet this tale is so well written, that out of the tragic ashes, inspiration soars. Shade of the Sun leaves the reader drenched in tears, from both sorrow and joy. This story will stick with you long after the final word is read.
This intimate tale is set in Savannah, Georgia, on the Trotter Plantation. This story begins while the plantation is under the control of Caleb Trotter, the spoiled greedy son of Sturgill Trotter. Sturgill, the no-nonsense patriarch, established the Trotter plantation as a very profitable business. As the tale is told in a masterful blend of flashbacks, the reader realizes that the sins of the father have far reaching consequences for everyone involved. Miss Mary is the bored neglected wife of Caleb. Her pain also proves to be a curse to the plantation. Then there is the neighbor across the river. The Mirabeau Plantation is owned by the darkest and most sinister character of the book, if not recent literature as well. He is the Frenchman Percival Mirabeau.
The central character of the book is Abel. A male adult slave who was born into the Trotter Plantation, on the wings of misery itself. Abel was born blind. It is the relationships he has with his mother and a small slave boy named Petey, that will swell the readers with tears. Shade of the Sun will re-open and change the conversation about a terrible time in American history. Buy this e-book today and see for yourself how far America has come. It is not your typical story about the events of slavery. In a word, Shade of the Sun, is brilliant.
