A review by erboe501
The Dragonfly Sea by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor

2.0

At points I found this book decently absorbing and compelling, but at other points I couldn't help skimming and wishing the page count wasn't quite so long. I enjoyed reading about the island of Pate in Kenya and of Ayaana's love for her home. The descriptions of Munira's garden and women's bodies and work was beautiful too. But overall the book was so poetic and often oblique in its language that I found it tough to concentrate.
