A Fast-Paced, Heart-Shredding, Unflinching Migrant Story
Revisado: 07-25-24
Whoa. If you read the news about sub-Saharan African enslavement in Libya or the deaths of African migrants in the waters of Lampedusa, this gripping novel humanizes the headlines. The Road to the Salt Sea reads like a thriller as it immerses us in the anxieties, frustrations, and exploitation of the protagonist Able-God without skipping a beat. As we follow Able-God’s journey from Nigeria to Europe, the horrors of human trafficking and the colorism that fuels African migrant trafficking come into harsh, heartbreaking relief. It’s a powerful and necessary read.

Thorough and Poetic Examination of Womanhood
Revisado: 07-25-24
The harmfulness of exclusionary beauty standards. The delicacy of friendship. The hard truths of mother-daughter and father-daughter relationships. Watson explores them all—and how they intersect—with tenderness and nuance in this poetic novel. Simultaneously, she situates us in Portland, Oregon, offering a rare glimpse into the lives and history of Black Portlanders. This is the work of an able, masterful storyteller.
