The Use of Water Imagery in the Dew Breaker

In the Dew breaker, water was talked about many times. In 2 parts of the book, 2 of the characters family members drowned. Anne's little brother drowned, and she was permanently scarred. The funeral singer's father drowned, and she always sang songs that were related to water and being a fisherman. In water child, Nadine had a shrine with water and pebbles dedicated to her aborted baby in her house. Ka's father threw the statue of him into the lake. I think Danticat uses water to symbolize,life, death, and rebirth.
