Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi
Description
Freshwater book by Akwaeke Emezi
Freshwater is a bold, surreal, and deeply psychological novel about identity, spirituality, and the experience of living with multiple selves. The story follows Ada, a Nigerian girl who grows up feeling divided within herself, and whose inner world becomes even more complex after she moves to the United States for university. As traumatic events unfold, different “selves” begin to take control of her life, each with its own voice, desires, and purpose.
Drawing from Igbo spirituality and lived experience, Akwaeke Emezi explores what it means to exist between worlds—physical, spiritual, and psychological—while questioning fixed ideas of identity and selfhood. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
