THE DRAGONFLY SEA – YVONNE ADHIAMBO OWUOR

The Dragonfly Sea follows the unforgettable Ayaana’s journey to adulthood after her small‑island childhood is interrupted. Targeted first by religious fundamentalists and second by Chinese emissaries, Ayaana is sent on a container ship to study in China, where she is forced to grow up fast. With its epic scope and lush lyricism, Owuor evokes a fascinating kind of beauty in this dangerous, chaotic world and its ever‑shifting oceans and trade. A transcendent story of love and adventure, and of the inexorable need for shelter in a dangerous world.
