Over Booked Book Club: The Deep by Rivers Solomon (20s & 30s)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Your 20s & 30s are perfect for starting new activities and trying new books! Join us at the 20s & 30s book club to discuss "The Deep!"

This month, we will be reading The Deep by River Solomon! 

Her people, the wajinru – water-dwelling descendants of pregnant African slave women thrown overboard by slavers – live idyllic lives in the deep. Their past, too traumatic, is forgotten by everyone, save one.

Yetu remembers for all the wajinru, and the memories – painful and wonderful, traumatic and terrible and miraculous- are destroying her. And so she flees to the surface, escaping the memories and the expectations and the responsibilities – and discovers a world the wajinru left behind long ago.

Yetu will learn more than she ever expected to about her own past – and about the future of her people. If they are all to survive, they’ll need to reclaim the memories, reclaim their identities – and own who they really are.
