| The Dragonfly Sea |
The Dragonfly Sea by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor, March 12, 2019, Knopf Publishing Group
I opened this tantalizing cover of a book at the library and found a dedication to the author's mother, whose name I thought I recognized. Sure enough, the author is the daughter of a former college classmate of mine from over 50 years ago. We had lost contact, but are soon to be in touch. How amazing and exciting to recover a friend through this book!
Setting: island of Pate, off the coast of Kenya
Book description: a coming-of-age novel about a young woman struggling to find her place in a vast world--a poignant exploration of fate, mortality, love, and loss.

Wow! What an amazing thing, to run across a dedication to a person you have not seen in such a long time. It will be fun for you to reconnect, I think. I will also be very interested in seeing what you think of the book itself.
