The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates

4.0

I initially loved the book and just knew I would give it five stars. However, the magical realism. I’m just not a fan. There was enough of the “historical fiction” aspect that I didn’t drop to three stars. In fact, I truly appreciated the complex relationship between Hiram and his father as well as with Sophia due to her unwillingness to belong to a man.
