À propos de cet audio

 "Wholly original, remarkably crafted, and unmatched in voice. I loved this book!”—Cherie Dimaline, bestselling author of VenCo and Empire of Wild

Issa Rae's Insecure with a magical realist spin: River Mumma is an exhilarating contemporary fantasy novel about a young Black woman who navigates her quarter-life-crisis while embarking on a mythical quest through the streets of Toronto.

Alicia has been out of grad school for months. She has no career prospects and lives with her mom, who won’t stop texting her macabre news stories and reminders to pick up items from the grocery store.

Then, one evening, the Jamaican water deity, River Mumma, appears to Alicia, telling her that she has twenty-four hours to scour the city for her missing comb.

Alicia doesn’t understand why River Mumma would choose her. She can’t remember all the legends her relatives told her, unlike her retail co-worker Heaven, who can reel off Jamaican folklore by heart. She doesn’t know if her childhood visions have returned, or why she feels a strange connection to her other co-worker Mars. But when the trio are chased down by malevolent spirits called duppies, they realize their tenuous bonds to each other may be their only lifelines. With the clock ticking, Alicia’s quest through the city broadens into a journey through time—to find herself and what the river carries.

River Mumma is a powerful portrayal of diasporic identities and a vital examination into ancestral ties. It is a homage to Jamaican storytelling by one of the most invigorating voices in Canadian literature.

Love the performance of the narrator and how she smoothly shifted between Toronto voice and the Jamaican voice. The story is beautiful. The reference to so many Toronto landmarks and Toronto type experiences like where to get the best patty on the TTC line or Caribbean restaurants never having frying plantain or the experience with Uber drivers and the TTC random stopping… the entire story was easy to Visualize. The reference to the ol higue or ligaroo, the duppy and all the other folklore was beautifully done. I rate the story 10 out a 10! Big up to the writer and the narrator! Brap Brap!

Love the story. The fusion of Caribbean culture and folklore with life in Toronto

This book really kept me engaged, wondering what's next? The descriptions were wonderful and allowed me to really visualize all that was happening. It was a movie in my head while listening. Furthermore, it felt very relatable with the toronto slang and Caribbean nuances

Such a great book!
