wonderful exploration of trauma, compassion and identity. a review on the back of the book by karen lord says “black water sister is both ode and accusation to all the ties that bind- to family, duty, and home”. this is a perfect summary of the theme of this book. loved it

I really liked the premise, the writing style, and a bit of the side eye comments related to white people or sexism, but I think the plot kind of lost its flow in the middle and it just ended up being a meh ending
