Commonwealth Writers' Prize Finalist


"You have ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; you have ravished my heart with one look of your eyes..." Song of Solomon 4:9"Readers and writers alike will love this offering by Uzoma Uponi. ColourBlind is a poignant, fast-paced journey into the turbulent lives of two families whose ideas on love, life and religion are as far apart as the north is from the south. Whoever said that opposites attract has never met the Ojiefis and the Zeluwas. In ColourBlind, Uponi masterfully weaves the fabrics of the Nigerian culture and tradition into a colourful tapestry of timeless wisdom and biblical truths; contrasted against a backdrop of suspicion, hurt, painful secrets and deception. This book is the stuff that movies are made of; each page threads you closer and closer to unraveling the conflict, only to find a new twist on the next. ColourBlind is a captivating, heartfelt witness to the unendinglove of God. It powerfully testifies to the healing power of God's love and challenges the believer to trust in the Lord, regardless of the circumstances. ColourBlind, is a must-read for the young and old alike. It will both visually and emotionally thrill your soul, warm your heart and make you stand up and cheer for the God-given talents of Uzoma Uponi." -Lourine Scott-Osamusali, Brampton, OntarioWatch out for Book II in the exciting ColourBlind series, Whispers from Yesteryears, everywhere good books are sold!
