One of the most highly praised novels of the year, the debut from an astonishing young writer, Freshwater tells the story of Ada, an unusual child who is a source of deep concern to her southern Nigerian family. Young Ada is troubled, prone to violent fits. Born "with one foot on the other side," she begins to develop separate selves within her as she grows into adulthood. And when she travels to America for college, a traumatic event on campus crystallizes the selves into something powerful and potentially dangerous, making Ada fade into the background of her own mind as these alters-now protective, now hedonistic-move into control. Written with stylistic brilliance and based in the author's realities, Freshwater dazzles with ferocious energy and serpentine grace.

Fascinating and stirring
Freshwater did not let me go. The book shows us African mythology and a gripping incident. The story is written realistically and in detail and is told from different perspectives. Mostly from the point of view of "We" or Asughara, sometimes Ada gets a word in. Ada was requested by their parents and sent to them. However, not alone. Ada is more than it seems. And the "others", if we want to call them that, are not satisfied with this circumstance that they are there too. I think the book is in a way a spiritual, philosophical one. Reading it is an experience that is difficult to describe. Freshwater is a fascinating and original story that should not be missed.
