A review by lilcurious
The River Where Blood Is Born by Sandra Jackson-Opoku

3.5

I loved the narrative framing! We have two deities competing for who tells the best story about the same women from this one family and, even when some harsher things were happening in our real world, Anansi and the Gatekeeper kept being petty and silly, the tone was perfect. The characters, though complicated, were all so compelling and easy to root for. This book really does flow like a river, just let the story wash over you and you won't regret it.
