The Year of Return | 
pickStatue is “Vicissitudes”, Jason deCaires Taylor, off the coast of Grenada
Book setting is Ghana, where to ghosts of slavery‘s victims of the Middle Passage return as “Coasters”, floating above the coast to land
The horror here is the horror of the Middle Passage, the pain, the fear, the despair
It's a hard read for that reason. Do you wish you could have witnessed, to have experienced it?
No, you really don't.
An electric, effective novella.
