Freshwater

Akwaeke Emezi

earliest edition we have, 2018 Highbridge Audio and Blackstone Publishing, 2021 audiobook 1 pages

Both a recounting of trauma and its impacts, as well as a retelling of a Nigerian fable. The main character's multiple experiences of trauma are retold and the author unflinchingly explores how they are impacted (e.g., self-harm, dissociation). The character's psychology is viewed through a non-Western lens.
