Koba, Book 1

By: Candi Miller

Narrated by: John Maytham

Koba is a bushgirl, a hunter-gatherer from an ancient living culture. She’s a survivor.

She escapes death from white hunters when her family is murdered and fends for herself in a hostile land.

Now, she’s in the greatest danger she’s ever faced: She’s falling for a White boy in Apartheid South Africa, where love across racial divides is brutally punished.

Book one of this fast-paced saga introduces a unique character into romance-writing, offering listeners a fascinating glimpse into a forgotten way of life and into recent black history.

Intense story of native peoples and their clash with Western civ

I enjoyed living vicariously through different cultural character minds via riveting plot lines in what to me are exotic locations. I drew very close to the characters who remain very dear to me. I hadn't read much in regard to Apartheid or Africa and while I was aware of some of the happenings, this book made me feel like I was there. Also, the language of Koba resonated as genuine. I'm anxious to pursue the sequels, which I understand will benefit the education of children of bush people, who sadly must now adapt as their environment changes rapidly.
