Berkeley native Eisa Davis鈥� lyrical coming-of-age story follows a multiracial girl found as an infant floating in a basket on the Navarro River in Mendocino County. It鈥檚 1955, and Bulrusher is 18 and restless, with a gift for clairvoyance that makes her feel like a stranger even amongst the eccentric, dialect speaking folks of her predominantly white enclave of Boonville. When a mysterious young Black woman from Birmingham comes to town, Bulrusher discovers new facets of her identity 鈥� and uncovers her place in the world. A Pulitzer Prize finalist called 鈥渃aptivating and lushly poetic鈥� by the LA Times, Bulrusher is infused with rhythmic language, passion, and down-home humor.
