In A Coastline Is an Immeasurable Thing, Mary-Alice Daniel presents a poetic coming-of-age memoir exploring the complexities of family, race, and religion as she journeys from Nigeria to England and ultimately to America. Through her migratory experiences, she grapples with identity, cultural traditions, and the legacies of her ancestors, revealing the influences of her diverse roots from the Longuda, Fulani, and Hausa tribes. With deep introspection and lyrical observation, Daniel examines the spiritualities intertwined in her life and the broader Black diaspora, creating a rich tapestry of her personal and cultural heritage.
