I don’t even really know what happened here. A bit amusing. Probably would have liked it better longer

Rousing read with themes around women, tradition, power dynamics in politics and relationships. . Set in pre colonial Ghana and follows two young women through a pivotal period of their lives- and a pivotal era in the country’s history. As well as war and conflict between populations within Ghana, we see British and German colonialism taking root.

Unsettling - we are following both a benefactor and a victim of slave trades. No obvious answers are given so there is a lot to consider. I will probably re-read at some point, I think there are some subtleties I still have to learn from.

What a read. The interweaving of personal stories into a historic movement. The literature references to writers of the time, Wilkerson’s writing in itself. Favourite this year so far

Very entertaining. Loved the format, made me nostalgic for VH1 Behind The Music. Sent me down a Fltwd Mac google wormhole for a bit
