It is spectacular because Bennett&#8217;s portrayal of how hurt reverberates through communities is so tangible and so very relatable. Also because sadly, so few books are about middle-class black people. The Mothers is a 288 page-turner that poses the question can a &#8216;what if&#8217; be stronger than an experience.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Sanguine<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Set in Southern California, it follows the lives of 17-year-old Nadia Turner, whose mother commits suicide; Twenty-one-year-old Luke Turner, the pastor&#8217;s son and ex-highschool jock, with his broken dreams, and Aubrey, the god fearing best friend who lost her mother in childhood. She completes the triangle. And there is a pregnancy. This sanguine situation turns into a coming of age story.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Sage<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The backdrop to the story is the community and the church community. The seniors of the church Upper Room are the &#8216;mothers&#8217; narrating the story. The sage elders see what&#8217;s going to happen, and watch as we do, as history repeats itself. Although we know what is going to happen, Bennett is particularly skilled at portraying raw emotions in a way that is poignant and connects with the reader.<\/p>\n<p>The author, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roxanegay.com\" target=\"_blank\">Roxane Gay<\/a> recommended The Mothers to me. She says &#8216;This is also a novel about the sorrows of motherless girls. I loved the voice and the storytelling and how Bennett [can] hold the story she wants to tell together over the course of a decade.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>I also see it as a book that encompasses motherhood across the spectrum: lost, adopted, conflicted and endured.<\/p>\n<p>The Mothers will be one of the best books published this year. \u00a0One you will want to read. The kind of fiction we should all read for understanding. \u00a0Don&#8217;t miss Brit Bennett <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/534018\/the-mothers-by-brit-bennett\/9780735288256\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Mothers<\/a> due October 2016.<\/p>\n<p><b>Connect with me on <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/:%20www.twitter.com\/imjussayin2\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Twitter<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Follow my blog on <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloglovin.com\/blogs\/imjussayincomblog-17449911\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Bloglovin<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"likebtn_container\" style=\"\"><!-- LikeBtn.com BEGIN --><span class=\"likebtn-wrapper\"  data-identifier=\"post_2320\"  data-site_id=\"632a645f943ec93423ce055c\"  data-style=\"\"  data-unlike_allowed=\"\"  data-show_copyright=\"\"  data-item_url=\"https:\/\/imjussayin.com\/blog\/mothers-sage-sanguine-spectacular\/\"  data-item_title=\"The Mothers - Sage Sanguine Spectacular\"  data-item_date=\"2016-07-31T22:58:11+00:00\"  data-engine=\"WordPress\"  data-plugin_v=\"2.6.59\"  data-prx=\"https:\/\/imjussayin.com\/blog\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=likebtn_prx\"  data-event_handler=\"likebtn_eh\" ><\/span><!-- LikeBtn.com END --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mothers, a &#8216;dazzling debut novel&#8217; from Brit Bennett is a sage, sanguine, and spectacular story.
