The Deep by Rivers Solomon
In a world where the descendants of pregnant African slave women thrown overboard have evolved into a water-dwelling society, the protagonist, Yetu, serves as the historian, burdened with the collective memories of her people. As the weight of these memories becomes unbearable, Yetu embarks on a journey of self-discovery, seeking to understand her identity beyond the past's shadows. This exploration of memory, trauma, and identity unfolds in a richly imaginative underwater realm, challenging the boundaries between history and the present, and the individual and the collective.
