A review by mmccombs
The Deep by Rivers Solomon

dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

A compelling story that is made even better by context. Listening to the afterword made me fall down a googling rabbit hole about all of the historical layers that built up towards this book. So many voices make up this fairly slim story, and I think that iteration and collaboration makes for such a strong narrative. I do wish I had read this with a physical copy rather than listening to it, I think there were some details I missed (and maybe even some structure of it, the way it was performed sounded like poetry but I couldn’t really tell). This book really made me think about why we tell stories and how they change through the telling of them. Just a very wonderful little book!
