A review by hailskp
Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi

challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

4.5

Outstanding. Once again Akwaeke Emezi is an author everyone should read. The prose of the gods is bone chilling and as Ada comes into their own it is beautiful. Reading the memoir first was a great idea and I loved the story. This tragic story of embodiment, of being a god in human bones, of loving oneself and the power within.
