Summary
Summary
Winner of the 2022 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize
When Aisha’s fisherman father goes missing, she takes to the sea on a skeleton boat to rescue him.
Guided by a talking scholar’s cat, who sparks her interest in the mysterious House of Rust, she encounters three monsters lurking beneath the waves. All Aisha wants is for things to return to normal. But a showdown with the father of all sharks looms, and at home, things only grow stranger.
A fabulist coming-of-age tale set amid the diasporic Hadrami culture in Mombasa, Kenya, The House of Rust is a standout debut by a marvelous new voice.
