Publisher's summary

Imagine that an entire village of Black slaves is magically transformed into White people in order to free them from slavery. Welcome to The Singing Village, a fictitious tale by Luther McKenzie that wraps you in a magical world of slaves who fight the hand of slavery with the only superpower given to them by their ancestors, their voice. The story takes place in the majestic Blue Mountains of Jamaica, spanning over a 200-year period from the days of slavery to modern-day Jamaica.

Seventeen-year-old Elijah is a tormented slave that is determined to be free or to die trying. His love for slave girl Seppi motivates him to plot their escape, but their ancestors have other plans to free the entire village, though they must make sacrifices. The harsh reality of slavery and the triumph of victory have a hefty cost. Life and blood are on the line. Not only will Elijah battle the slave masters, but also other dark forces await him.

Fun and entertaining

I was hook from the start to the end and I did not want the book to finish - Great listening.

A must read fiction; brilliantly delivered

This book delicately balances historical authenticity with creative story telling.…. The plot was clear and intriguing and depicted vibrant characters that were easy to become attached to. The writing was well paced and I quickly became so invested I found it hard to stop listening. This story of fictional facts really challenged my imagination to travel to the mountains of my home country in a manner that I never thought of before; “as a slave” ……hence I’m left with the bigger question of what price would I be willing if any, to change my blackness to save me from slavery had I been faced with such a dilemma…

Masterful Storytelling!

Masterful storytelling, with a very authentic yet creative storyline...

I appreciate that this book represented an opportunity to share the Caribbean perspective on this period in Black history, and that much work was done to detail the culture and the history well.

Furthermore, I thought this book to be very powerful. It detailed some very hard truths about that oppressive time period, that is often desensitized in some literary pieces. The author achieved this while still establishing a unique caveat or perspective, that makes this story of a past world intriguing in a fresh new light.

Grateful for this piece and interested to read more works from this author.
