Sorrowland
by Rivers Solomon
Our main character, Vern, runs away from a religious extremist compound, gives birth in the woods that would become her and her children’s home, and fights to stay free while her body begins to literally change in unimaginable (and scary?) ways. It’s in conversation with race, queerness, family/motherhood, trauma, freedom (in America), and the ability to just keep going.
I read and loved The Deep by Rivers Solomon, so I was excited to check this one out. I was definitely pleased with this decision. This was such a wild story and I was really invested in it because of the protagonist. She was complicated, loves fiercely but doesn’t know the answer to everything, wants to be left alone but knows thats not how things shake down in the end. I loved the characters, thought the sci-fi bits were fascinating, the plot kept me hooked, and I was in it the whole way through.
Now I’m hoping that I can get to Soloman’s most recent release soon!
