Losing Absalom Reviews


  • Cherie

    A former teacher of mine; fantastic story that takes control of you.

  • U. Teresa

    Great novel about being a Black father or son in American society.

  • Cheryl

    This novel speaks volumes about parents’ dreams for their children, generational dreams and why Black Lives Matter. Racism is an evil blight that will continue to destroy individuals, though they “live by the rules” and “buy the hype of individual success” because they are black.

  • Neil

    Really appreciated this read. Powerful, peopled with vital personalities, and a grand story to tell.
    For me, simply a superb novel.
