River Mumma by Zalika Reid-Benta

4.0

I heard an interview with the author on CBC which made me want to read this book. I was incredibly excited when just a few days later, I found out I had won a copy of this on Goodreads. Yay! The months before the holidays were very hectic this year so it took me longer than I had hoped to finish. Once I finally found some time to read, I sped through this book. The characters are well-rounded and interesting. It's such a unique story, blending Jamaican folklore and modern Canadian life and culture. I found myself thinking about the characters after I finished; wondering what they did next and what choices they made after this crazy quest.

Thanks so much to the author, publisher and Goodreads for the copy of this book that I won in a giveaway.
