The Tears of Dark Water by Corban Addison

5.0

The Tears of Dark Water is a gripping drama by Corban Addison about piracy in the Indian Ocean near Somalia. It is a story about family, guilt, forgiveness, redemption, love, and keeping promises, which also highlights African girls’ circumcision and terrorism by the name of Islam. this enchanting book portrayed why some Somalis become pirates; being ruled by treacherous dictators, the violent Islamists taking control of the country with the help of the US, and the bad relationships between clans during the civil war who turned on each other to govern Mogadishu, resulting in poverty. That's why in the novel, we find Ismail skeptic about trusting Americans - to him a cheater will always be a cheater!
