Bitter
Akwaeke Emezi
After spending much of her childhood in foster care, Bitter attends Eucalyptus, a residential school for young artists led by Miss Virtue. Beyond the school, activists in Lucille protest racial and economic injustice, often facing violent police responses. Though Bitter wants the refuge of school, serious harm done to friends draws her into the conflict. In anger, she makes art and brings a creation to life with her blood. The being calls itself Vengeance and is neither harmless nor short-lived.
