A review by sparklelys
Creatures of Passage by Morowa Yejidé

5.0

This is so not my usual genre, but I got sucked in by the lyrical writing and then invested in the characters, even as they looped away for a time and then cycled back into the narrative. Morowa writes place with a gravity of years of experiential knowledge of the Anacostia region of DC, overlaid with a mystic sense of the beyond drawn from multiple mythological roots spanning from Gullah culture to Egypt.
