What thoughts weigh on the mind of an excelling physiologist willingly detaining herself in an airport terminal for the arrival of a close childhood companion? Mispha LaBeau is left to engage an emotional recollection of a past time she last saw Regina Ames.
It was a dramatic span of an epoch in their high school senior year sending life alternating after effects toward their future reunion. Here is the third edition of the novel. It was carefully revised a second time since it was first published in January 2017 to support the valuable usage and high standards of the American English language.
Waiting for Regina is a heart-warming, beautiful and disconcertingly reflective book. The novel is composing from a short story written by the same author entitled, Regina, What Is the Color of It? Presenting as a long and eloquent letter from a friend, Mispha, a dark girl from a Haitian-Jamaican black family, writes to her close childhood companion. She is Regina whose "brown sugar" skin is a lighter shade. Both aspirating females are in their teen years. This book is basing during the heydays of the latter 1980's.
Racism, bullying, interracial marriage, abuse, and loss of life are just a few of the various themes treated and touched upon in this book. Unexpecting expiry is one of the underlying issues of the first time novel citing in the early chapters regarding the bereavements of relatives in both of the girl's families.
The publication is well written and gives a nostalgic and almost a warm feeling to it. Moreover, we see and witness the old America which was segregating while under the notion that integration was in practice. While not exploiting those sensitive themes, this novel may become one of the most entertaining of the year with lively and varied characters, fluid pacing, and memorable dialogue.
