The Deep

This book has an interesting backstory: inspired by a song written for the podcast This American Life by the rap group Clipping. It is a world where the children of pregnant women thrown overboard during slave trade survived their mother's murders and become the wajinru - a ocean dwelling people.

Solomon builds off this premise and creates a main character who seeks to find herself apart from her job of remembering all of the wajinru's past. I enjoyed reading this book and immersing myself in this world.

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this great book.
