Description
Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson is a poignant love story about two young people who find each other in a city that often rejects them. Both are artists, struggling to make their mark, and both are Black British, trying to navigate a world that sees them only as a body, not as a person. As they tentatively fall in love, they must confront the fear and violence that threatens to tear them apart. With gorgeous, soulful intensity, Nelson explores what it means to be vulnerable in a world that values strength over sensitivity. This is a powerful and beautiful novel about love, identity, and the search for safety in a world that often seems hostile.
