This book was my first exposure to Nalo Hopkinson and it won't be my last. Told from four different POVs, in different times and different places, this book is seamless, the transitions flowing like the water Hopkinson writes about. Their narratives twine about each other, braiding each woman's experiences into the single story of a goddess.

It's about women and their goddesses. It's about slavery, colonialism, and racism. It's about love and hate and fear and hope. And it is astounding. (Provided by publisher)
