Happy Release Day to The Wind on Her Tongue by Anita Kopacz! Thank you to Atria Books for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.
The long-awaited companion to Shallow Waters is a reimagining of the Yoruban deity Oya. While this book looks like a quick read, it does focus on heavier themes such as racial violence and miscarriage. While I was expecting the first one, I was surprised by the second as it does not mention it in the book summary. Readers who are aware of the folklore behind the book may be aware in advance, but those who are jumping in with little to no background may be caught off-guard. Despite the content, I was fully engrossed in the story and people Oya meets throughout her journey and didn't even notice when I was on the last page.
If you enjoy diverse stories about persevering through life’s darkest storms, be sure to add this one to your TBR!
