In Afritorial, Author N.K Read writes about what inspired her new book – ‘Children of Saba’ – an exciting, epic novel that re-imagines Africa’s past (and future) glory.
She states:
I am driven by a deep desire to remind Africans about their past glory and therefore reignite their sense of self that we seem to have forgotten along the way, the best way I know how – writing an epic novel. The Epic of Aphrike is a humble appeal to this great continent – may we reclaim our rich and resplendent narrative; our foundation, our voice, our magnitude, our honour, our pride, our wisdom, our traditions, our past, our exceptional uniqueness, our failings, our triumphs and finally when all is said and done, our glory. ‘We who forgot Africa’s glory and majesty, must now remember …’
CHILDREN OF SABA recreates the glory and majesty of a prodigious continent, appealing to lovers of the Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings series. It is the untold story of Africa, one that re-imagines the legacy of a vast ancient race responsible for throwing giant shadows upon the dawn of time; a chronicle that leaps beyond the boundaries of the present and transcends the parameters of the origins of the Earth.
