"Rosewater is a town on the edge. A community formed around the edges of a mysterious biodome, its residents comprise the hopeful, the hungry, and the helpless--people eager for a glimpse inside the dome or a taste of its rumored healing powers. Kaaro is a government agent with a criminal past. A sensitive, he can navigate the massive psychic space created by the dome. But when something within the dome begins killing other sensitives, Kaaro must defy his masters to avert a horrifying future."--Back cover.

Review of 'Rosewater' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

A captivating read.

Science fiction that takes place in Nigeria, which is a nice change, and it's a story that would only make sense in Nigeria.

The story is a lot more about psychology than technology, which is also a nice change for me.

I'm looking forward to #2 and #3.
