Maame is a beautiful, touching debut about Maddie's journey from caring for her sick father to finding space in her own life. This book took me an immensely long time to finish because the writing really resonated with things I had personally felt. Jessica George writes discomfort and guilt and frustration and awkwardnes with lots of empathy and compassion. So much so that I kept having to put the book down because it hit several nerves. It's a brilliant modern picture of Black British life in London. This is clearly an author to watch and a book to read if you haven't.
