520 . ‡a"In Ibadan, Nigeria, a mother receives a divination that foretells danger for her daughter in America. In spite of this warning, she allows her to forge her own path, and Amina arrives in New Orleans filled with hope. But just as Amina begins to find her way, a hurricane threatens to destroy the city, upending everything she'd dreamed of and the lives of all she holds dear. Years later, her daughter is left with questions about the mother she barely knew and the family she has yet to discover in Nigeria. Exploring the love of a determined mother and dreaming daughter who do not say enough to each other until it is too late; the detangling of Yoruba Christianity, traditional religion, and folklore; and the tellings of three generations of daring women - through times of longing, promise, and romance, as well as heartbreak - Olufunke Grace Bankole's The Edge of Water is a luminous debut novel about a young woman brave enough to leave all she knows behind and the way her fate transforms a family destined to stay together"-- ‡cProvided by publisher.
