Like Water Like Sea - Popoola Olumide

Sometimes

we swim, sometimes we float, other times we are drowning. It’s not always easy

to know which is which.  It is the

ten-year anniversary of her sister’s death, and Nia is grappling with her grief,

and balancing the complicated relationships weaving through her life. There is

smart and sexy Temi; Melvin, her teenage love; and her new yet intimate

friendship with Rahul and Crystal. But looming large over everything is her

mother SuSu, whose battle with bipolar disorder continues to cast a

profound shadow over Nia. Delving

deep into the intricate tapestry of Nia''s life, Like Water Like Sea is a

poignant tale of self-discovery and resilience, sexuality and motherhood, and

falling apart to become truly whole.
