“Bless the maker and his water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May his passage cleanse the world. May he keep the world for his people”.

An amazing novel about psychic transformation, religion, politics, and how this makes people think they can be unstoppable. How destiny and grief can lead us to genocide. That last line from Jessica to Chani is just iconic “While we, Chani, we who carry the name of concubine history will call us wives.”
