5.0 out of 5 starsA Masterpiece

Do you want to fall in love? Get your copy of Paulette Mahurin’s “The Day I Saw the Hummingbird,” and I guarantee that you will fall head over heels in love with Oscar, Mahurin’s very young Negro slave who is the center of this story. Mahurin has outdone herself with this novel; among her extraordinary literary achievements, this is her best, in my opinion. I do not rest on my laurels, however, because I know she will wow her readers yet again. “The Day I Saw the Hummingbird” will be hard to top, however. With time, it just might prove to be her masterpiece.

Paulette never disappoints. She is a master story teller. This story will likely haunt you, it has lingered with me for several months now. The characters are very realistic as are the scenes she writes about. I almost felt like I walked the trail with Oscar and smelled what he did, saw what he did, and felt the exhaustion he did. Certainly it’s a story about slavery, but it is also a story about humanity and determination. It does not have a predictable, sappy ending -which I appreciated.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Day I Saw the Hummingbird

ByMs Peartreeon 25 May 2018

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

Paulette Mahurin is a quality historical novelist who always writes about engrossing subjects and once again she triumphs with The Day I Saw the Hummingbird.

The story is, at times, harrowing, but always engrossing. The descriptions are realistic and down to earth. The hardships these people endured were cruel in the extreme, yet the author always manages to offer moments of hope. Her prose reveals that she is truly in touch with her subject and the book is all the stronger for that.

Coincidentally, I watched To Kill a Mockingbird on DVD for the first time while reading this book, and Garrow’s Law, which touches on the same subject. Both are wonderful productions and The Day I Saw the Hummingbird sits comfortably with them.

A true story that puts you right I the middle of the holocaust. The descriptive writing made you feel a part of the horror and made you realize this is a part of history we must never forget or repeat.

This book has received a Discovering Diamonds Review:
Helen Hollick
founder #DDRevs
“The author has not held back in any way and deals sensitively yet matter-of-factly with the atrocities and the sheer spirit of those who had the will and the almost superman-type strength to survive.”

ByCNewshamon May 21, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

The horrors of war and the ills of what they lived through are so clearly brought to the readers mind. Well written story, makes my heart ache for all that suffered.

May 11, 2018 Maneesha Chadha**** rated it really liked it

Having read so many books on the holocaust I wasn’t expecting this one to be any different but i was pleasantly surprised. The story telling is sharp with a factual objectivity that in some ways makes the narrative far more real. It isn’t just a story of pain and suffering but one of life, hope and joy.

This is a bittersweet story of two people meeting in the oncologist’s office and how their relationship developed from there. Much more than a love story begun in the knowledge that life may be short with the need to take each day for what it could bring.

They met in the shelter and bonded. And when Anjo saw Coco was blind she led her around. Thankfully, the now bonded pair were rescued together.
