Freshwater

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for tuning in to Episode 6 of Semiscribbled Podcast.

In this pod episode, I review Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi.

We are taken on a journey through the mind, soul, and being of Ada who is a daughter of a god named Ala, a child that was conceived when the portal to the spiritual world was open and so is inhabited by Asughara, Saint Vincent, and We. Ada also prays and believes that Yshwa (Jesus) will come to her aid. This is a narrative about how Ada learns to balance the presence of all these beings in her as she also grows into an adult woman. It is about the people she encounters on her journey as friends, lovers, and even healers. 

This book is in my top 5 books I've read this year. 

When I say in this episode that the book is not literary fiction, this is my source.

Please follow us on twitter and instagram (both @podcast_semi) we'd love to engage with you.
