This was an exceptionally fast read that left my stuck in its world running over and over what I’d read. This is the story of a people split into two - human to something akin to a mermaid by the foremothers being tossed overboard and the ocean saving those unborn children. yetu is the historian of her people which mean she literally carries every memory of every last one forever and once a year she gives these memories back to the rest of her people. This is a heavy burden and Yetu finds no room for herself between the history which is killing her slowly. Yetu decides to try to figure out who she is and if she can exist while her people also prosper. The pages flew by as the characters compelled me to read more.
