I'm in awe of how the author managed to weave such an important topic as the slavery of the Black man without making it too heavy and without downplaying its importance.

In A Dream Called September, we follow Tamsil, who has a dream but is at a loss on how to bring it to life, and we see Wayne, whose dream brings him into this small town called Kibitei. I loved how rich and layered this book was. Every character was as important as the next and had a story to tell.

You would think with as many characters as there are in this book, I would have such a hard time following, but no — the book came alive to me. It felt like a movie; it felt as if I was immersed into the lives of the people of Kibitei.

A villain, an unlikely love story, the dreams we carry, a dream they called September, a dream of harvest time, a dream whose name is love.
