Why read it?
1 author picked Rosewater as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Besides the fact that I love a messy, sexy love story, Rosewater captures the very real feeling of being in your mid-20s in a beautiful but harsh city and trying to work your ish out.
Elsie, the main character, is a poet, which I feel leads a song-like quality to the narrative. This is for dreamers and lovers and those who kind of know what they want but are scared of throwing themselves at it fully.
From Jendella's list on introducing you to Black London.
