A National Book Foundation "5 Under 35" Honoree Finalist for the
PEN/Hemingway Award for a Debut Novel Shortlisted for the Center
for Fiction First Novel Prize A New York Times Notable Book The
astonishing debut novel from the acclaimed bestselling author of
The Death of Vivek Oji, You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty,
and Pet, 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.
