With their invasion comes the realization of a brutal truth: Yetu and her people are in fact descendants of the two-legs, the offspring of the thousands of captives thrown overboard to drown during the height of the transatlantic slave trade. She rebels against the duty that's been thrust upon her, even as that rebellion parallels a much more perilous threat - the surface dwellers, called two-legs, who have begun to encroach on the idyllic existence of the wajinru in their rapacious search for oil. Historians suppress their own personal desires, identity, and memories in service of their fellow wajinru - but Yetu is not happy about this arrangement. As such, she must gather their ancestral memories, and bear them in pain until the annual ritual of sharing, called the Remembrance. A member of the mermaid-like, undersea race called the wajinru, the main character of The Deep has been chosen as the newest historian of her people. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
