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 'A captivating story about a
mixed-race British woman who goes in search of the West African
father she never knew' REESE WITHERSPOON 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. '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' SARA COX
