Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Thrust by Lidia Yuknavitch tells the story of Laisve, a refugee in a destroyed city-island, hunted in Raids and haunted by the spirits of her drowned mother and brother. As she dives into the river, she finds herself travelling between times and waterways, connecting with people from the past and future.

Among those she encounters are a group of workers constructing a colossal monument to freedom for a young and bustling nation. But exactly what—and whom—will that liberty represent?

As Laisve drifts into their histories, she schools seekers in the ways of dreams, love, and the ultimate aim of liberty: to free the next generation from the chains of this one.
