In Miss Angel: The Evil Behind The Law Vol. 1 by author Tchinda Fabrice Mbuna, we are presented a riveting story full of intrigue, drama, and at its core, a love story for the ages, all in verse form, no less. The author writes in a seriously unique and tantalizing style which draws readers in, and keeps them coming back for more as his tale unfolds before us. The writing is strong and the plot is well-developed while the characters have an incredible depth that will leave you guessing their true motivations above all else.
In this story, we meet Mr. Tchinda, a Cameroonian immigrant, who is a poet and a playwright, has just landed in America to live with his old friend, Miss Beatrice. At this point, America has gone through several important and historical movements such as the feminist movement, the civil rights movement, and social reforms. This greatly affects the events that unfold in the rest of this book. Once Tchinda is settled, he soon learns of his friend, Miss Beatrice’s true intentions to marry her best friend, Miss Asunder, who was born and raised in America and is a Caucasian woman. This upsets Tchinda immensely, especially since it seems the reasons behind Miss Beatrice’s want for this union is less than honorable — she is now obsessed with money.
The plot thickens when Tchinda meets and falls for a fellow Cameroonian immigrant by the name of Miss Angel. Unfortunately for the two lovers, Miss Asunder is determined to use the law to her advantage and make their engagement null and void by any means necessary. She even goes so far as to attempt to blackmail Tchinda a few days before his marriage to Miss Angel by threatening him with sexual harassment charges unless he gives in and has an affair with her. This causes very dramatic twists and turns from there on forward.
This story goes deeper than what is simply on the surface, with its commentary on social injustice when it comes to the law not always being there to help all races instead of just those it pleases. It also talks about real modern-day social issues like feminism and civil rights as a whole and how that impacts minorities. More than anything, it is a play about morality that starts a long-overdue and important conversation we all need to have. I highly recommend you give this amazing book a read.
