A review by cestelaine
Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi

4.0

Hesitating between 3 and 4 stars for this. An incredible narrative, some beautiful insights, but it just didn’t quite come together for me.

Settled on 4 stars because it is an important story and I’ve read reviews from readers more familiar with the culture and style of narration who have said this is very true to its origins. Definitely worth reading.
