• Review – Pachinko – Min Jin Lee

  Pancinko is a long and sprawling literary historical novel focusing on just one family and the generations that follow. An utterly beautiful book, spanning generations, for fans of Homegoing and more historical fiction.

• Review: Sister of Mine – Marie-Claire Amuah

  Family secrets are uncovered on a trip to Ghana and Sika will never be the same again. I fell in love with Amuah’s writing in her debut, One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, and it was a pleasure to return to that heartfelt style in Sister of Mine.

• Review: Half Lives – Krystle Zara Appiah

  Krystle Zara Appiah is back with another beautifully told novel, which this time centres sisterhood and all its nuances. A slightly different pace than Rootless but a brilliant read nonetheless.

• Review: Rootless – Krystle Zara Appiah

  Efe and Sam were meant to be together, they just were never there at the right time. A book that has truly broken me but I couldn’t recommend more, just stunning.
