Thomas Matthew’s ‘Cuquita’ is a
moving and powerful novel about a visitor to the human race
Author
Thomas Matthew’s debut novel, Cuquita,
is an inspiring and beautiful novel that puts the human race, and the way it
lives, into startling new perspective.
Cuquita,
the titular character, is travelling far from her home world. When she becomes stranded on Earth, her only
refuge comes in the form of a kind farmer and his wife. Cuquita’s wonder and amazement at the many
facets of human life define her experience, and adjusting to the Earth and the
people who live on it becomes her greatest challenge yet.
Doing
everything she can to conceal the secret of her true identity, she must quickly
learn to adapt and blend in with the human race, which simply views her as a
visitor from another continent, instead of an advanced being from light years
away. However, when threats to those she
loves and the human race as a whole become far too much for her to bear,
Cuquita must make a decision: reveal her origins and save the human race from
itself, or hide from her destiny and keep her true self a secret.
Deeply
interwoven with themes of love, loyalty, and understanding that span both race
and humanity, Cuquita is a
startlingly observant novel that examines the human condition as a whole. Cuquita’s perspective is a fascinating one,
as she sees and feels everything human for the first time. Cuquita herself touches the hearts and minds
of everyone that she meets, and the novel will surely do the same for avid
lovers of the fantasy and science fiction genres. Readers will find themselves anxiously
awaiting the sophomore effort from this promising and exciting new author.
