Blood Is Another Word for Hunger by Rivers Solomon
5.0
What had the Master and Missus known about growing something? All they knew was how to bleed something for all it was worth. What must it be like to live life when every interaction included the question, How much value can I extract from this?
What bothered Sully about Ziza's relentless happiness was that it was not the result of obliviousness, naivete, or ignorance. It was a happiness that knew pain and had to overcome it.
Really powerful stuff, for me a story about the cleansing, un-making and re-making power of anger. I really love Rivers Solomon's writing ([b:The Deep|42201962|The Deep|Rivers Solomon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1549411869l/42201962._SY75_.jpg|64281827] was fantastic as well).
