From Night to Dawn - A Journey
Olusola Sophia Anyanwu’s book, The captive’s crown, is a journey of exploration through divine love and compassion by Jesus, liberating the character, irrespective of the sins committed allowing them to discover freedom irrespective of their past.
The author has employed a deliberate structure, by dividing the book into eighty-seven short chapters across three sections – 'Night,' 'Twilight,' and 'Dawn.' Such an arrangement isn't merely a writing choice, but enhances the reading experience by leading the protagonist's journey from darkness and captivity ('Night'), through a period of transition and struggle ('Twilight'), towards healing, redemption, and spiritual freedom ('Dawn'). Each chapter commences with a verse from the Bible, in order to build a narrative of faith in Mother Mary.
The author has given a raw account of how the tragic path of prostitution ensues a loop around itself allowing one to get in the position of captive in distress. The narrative emphasized by the author to let go of the past and bury it in order to look ahead in the future highlights an unwavering tale of strength. I appreciate the author for bringing a tale from shadows into the dark, by keeping a raw take making it a compelling story.
