SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Bitter Sea is the story of Masha, the daughter of Ghanaian immigrants whose path to the U.S. was anything but direct (including stops in the USSR as well as pre- and post-independence West Africa). Her questions about diaspora, connection, and home, are challenged and enriched by her relationship with Saman, a Persian Jewish painter she meets on an airplane.
