i loved every inch of this book. my one complaint is the alternating pov’s don’t become clear until further into them, leaving the story a bit muddied in the meantime.

Mijn eerste echte duik (letterlijk) in afro-futurisme en meteen een bijzonder voorbeeld over hoe fantasy kan helpen met het verwerken van en reflecteren op historisch trauma. Het idee dat de kinderen van zwangere tot slaaf gemaakte vrouwen in de zee veranderden in zeemeerpersonen (ze zijn genderloos), vind ik een enorm emotionele en intrigerende (mythische) kijk op een vreselijke geschiedenis. Het feit dat het verhaal staat bij het gezamenlijk leren dragen en erkennen van dit verleden maakt dat het een enorm krachtige boodschap uit straalt naar onze realiteit. Daarnaast is de geheel andere samenleving dan de onze interessant om over na te denken.
