A REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK * A BBC 2 BETWEEN THE COVERS
BOOK CLUB PICK * SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION
FUTURES PRIZE * AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Anna is at a stage
of her life when she's beginning to wonder who she really is. She
has separated from her husband, her daughter is all grown up, and
her mother - the only parent who raised her - is dead. Searching
through her mother's belongings, she finds clues about the West
African father she never knew. Through reading his student diary,
chronicling his involvement in radical politics in 1970s London,
she discovers that he eventually became the president (some would
say the dictator) of a small nation in West Africa - and he is
still alive. She decides to track him down and so begins a funny,
painful, fascinating journey, and an exploration of race, identity
and what we pass on to our children. Praise for SANKOFA: 'A
captivating story about a mixed-race British woman who goes in
search of the West African father she never knew' REESE WITHERSPOON
'I loved venturing from London to the fictional African nation of
Bamana in Sankofa, a novel I found hard to put down' DAILY MAIL 'A
real pleasure, it's funny, thought-provoking and holds a light up
to everything from cultural differences to colonialism' STYLIST 'I
LOVED Sankofa SO MUCH' MARIAN KEYES 'Slick pacing and unpredictable
developments keep the reader alert right up to the novel's
exhilarating ending' GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE DAY 'Onuzo's sneakily
breezy, highly entertaining novel leaves the reader rethinking
familiar narratives of colonisation, inheritance and liberation'
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'A really great book, very poignant'
