Sankofa has been cursed and gifted by a mysterious seed that falls from the sky, granting the power over death. Haunted by the pain of losing her family and being hated by everyone - she journeys to find her place and a home to call her own. This was dark and sad, with little resolution to the plot. I love okorafor's world building and descriptions. I wish this had been longer though.
