Description
We'd had to be cut free of our mother's womb. Abby and I were fused, you see. But here's the real kicker; Abby had the magic, I didn't. Now adults, Makeda and Abby still share their childhood home. The surgery to separate the two girls left Makeda with what feels like an even worse deformity: no mojo. The daughters of a celestial demigod and a human woman, Makeda and Abby were raised by their magical father. Today, Makeda has decided it's high time to move out and make her own life. In Cheerful Rest, Makeda finds exactly what she's been looking for: an opportunity to live apart from Abby. But when her father goes missing, Makeda will have to discover her own talent if she's to have a hope of saving him...

Makeda and Abby are twins who were conjoined at birth but separated, and now as an adult Makeda still feels they are emotionally conjoined. This convoluted story, peopled by a bewildering cast of shape-shifters, traces Makeda's quest for independence and her own mojo, apparently lost during the infant separation. It opens as Makeda looks for her own apartment without telling Abby she is leaving. The seedy place where she hopes to live has "Shine" (a kind of aura), a motley assortment of tenants, and "haint-proof" blue ceilings; however, it proves a poor safe haven as Makeda's shape-shifting haintâher "daemon"âregularly finds and torments her. When Makeda hears that her elderly father has disappeared, she joins Abby and her otherworldly relatives in searching for him and his soul. The story overflows with fantasy: the twins' mother happens to be a lake monster, a kudzu vine named Quashee takes possession of her father's soul, Makeda knits a flying carpet, and Abby dates a young man who used to be a guitar. Although Hopkinson (Brown Girl in the Ring) has a strong narrative voice in Makeda, she's so intent in creating unrelated fantastic situations and events that the book loses momentum and coherence before presenting a simplistic ending.
