Description
In a world beneath the waves, the descendants of African slave women tossed overboard have forged a unique underwater society. Yetu, the historian of this community, carries the burden of their collective memory, a history of trauma and survival. When the weight of the past becomes too much, she must embark on a perilous journey to reclaim lost memories and understand her own identity. This brilliantly imaginative novella, inspired by the song from Clipping., delves into profound themes of identity, memory, community, and the enduring power of history.

really just wildly painful for something with such a nonlinear, hard to parse, collective-we narration interspersed into a lost identity story
