The publishers of today’s latest addition to our Kindle Nation Free Book Alert listings might have preferred for their story of a Little Elf in Big Trouble to turn up free in the Kindle Store on December 19 rather than February 19, but that’s no impediment for the citizens of Kindle Nation. Just download it today, since it is free today, and keep it safely in the Kindle Kloud until you or the children in your life start feeling that whole holiday thing sometime after Black Friday ….
When Sahil comes out of the womb speaking both Hebrew and Arabic, the London immigrant community of his parents reacts with superstition and adulation…
Here’s the set-up:
The story of Sahil and his family, of their friends, relatives and neighbors is mordantly satirical, deeply poignant and very funny. As Sahil grows into adulthood and becomes more and more disillusioned with his lot, his reluctant attempts to connect with his roots, buried under the weight of slavery, colonialism and racial hatred, take him in unexpected directions on the way to his own particular truth.
“He is named Sahil, and it is discovered that he is able to speak in “perfect Arabic and Hebrew” from the moment of birth! Definitely, this child is a prodigy by any description, and the book tells of how his birth affects his community.”
