This quirky, fizzy, charming debut surprises and amuses. ReidBenta writes beautifully, drawing on Caribbean mythologies to create a fast paced and entertaining tale. It's rare to find a novel written with such humour and heart. T. L. Huchu, USA Today Bestselling author of The Library of the DeadIssa Raes Insecure with a magical realist spin: River Mumma is an exhilarating contemporary fantasy novel about a young Black woman who navigates her quarterlifecrisis while embarking on a mythical quest through the streets of Toronto.Alicia has been out of grad school for months. She has no career prospects and lives with her mom, who wont stop texting her macabre news stories and reminders to pick up items from the grocery store.Then, one evening, the Jamaican water deity, River Mumma, appears to Alicia, telling her that she has twentyfour hours to scour the city for her missing comb.Alicia doesnt understand why River Mumma would choose her. She cant remember all the legends her relatives told her, unlike her retail coworker Heaven, who can reel off Jamaican folklore by heart. She doesnt know if her childhood visions have returned, or why she feels a strange connection to her other coworker Mars. But when the trio are chased down by malevolent spirits called duppies, they realize their tenuous bonds to each other may be their only lifelines. With the clock ticking, Alicias quest through the city broadens into a journey through timeto find herself and what the river carries.Energetic and invigorating, River Mumma is a vibrant exploration of diasporic community and ancestral ties, and a homage to Jamaican storytelling by one of the most invigorating voices in todays literature.
