The Deep: Knitted Book Review

52 books. 1 year. 1 giant blanket.

📕 BOOK 17 - The Deep by Rivers Solomon (with Daveed Diggs, William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes)

📖 After the offspring of pregnant African women thrown overboard during the slave trade adapt to life underwater, their aquatic descendants deal with a battle between cultural history and generational trauma versus personal identity and the sense of self.

💭 Length doesn’t equate to depth (that’s what she said), so this book wasn’t the ‘light reading’ it was originally recommended to me as. I wish I’d given it the focus and attention it deserved, because it hits on themes and imagery that take time to truly mull over. Beautifully insightful with captivating writing.

4 stars ⭐️ ⭐ ⭐️ ⭐️
