Bright and precocious ten-year-old Kwame Akromah knows how to behave.
He knows the importance of good manners, how to stay at the top of the
class and out of the way when his mother and father are angry with each
other. But when his charismatic cousin Yaw arrives from Ghana to live
with the family while he looks for work, the rules Kwame has learned
about the world can no longer guide him.
Twenty years later, Kwame is a secondary-school teacher, popular with
his students and depended on by his friends. His is a life spent
elegantly weaving between the classroom, the labyrinth of Grindr
politics and increasingly intermittent visits to his parents’ home.
Behind the confident façade, however, he is as driven by caution as he
was as a boy.
But when electrifying changemaker Marcus Felix is appointed as
headteacher, Kwame must reckon with himself as he never has before. Can
he face the ghosts of his childhood? How will he learn to move through
the world without losing who he is? And where does existing stop and
living begin?
