For me, this was a rewarding blend of literary fiction and Black gothic. It is an introspective, conversational meditation on family, love, and loss which becomes immeshed in a mind bending ancestral haunting. Oh, and there’s the whole jellyfish thing…
Loved the ride, though occasionally I found myself yelling at the professor to pull himself together and make better choices, lol.
I enjoyed this novel via audiobook and the narration was outstanding.
