The Furrows by Namwali Serpell

5.0

Cassandra Williams watches her brother die. She grieves his death. She imagines his life. She is an unreliable narrator.

Serpell’s spare prose captures grief and sadness, the disorientation of death, the messiness of picking up the pieces. The furrows. The valleys in between waves. An apt metaphor for grief.
