Representaion Supposing Books Ghana Must Go

Kweku Sai is dead. A renowned surgeon and failed husband, he succumbs suddenly at dawn outside his home in suburban Accra. The news of Kweku’s death sends a ripple around the world, bringing together the family he abandoned years before. Ghana Must Go is their story. Electric, exhilarating, beautifully crafted, Ghana Must Go is a testament to the transformative power of unconditional love, from a debut novelist of extraordinary talent.  

Moving with great elegance through time and place, Ghana Must Go charts the Sais’ circuitous journey to one another. In the wake of Kweku’s death, his children gather in Ghana at their enigmatic mother’s new home. The eldest son and his wife; the mysterious, beautiful twins; the baby sister, now a young woman: each carries secrets of his own. What is revealed in their coming together is the story of how they came apart: the hearts broken, the lies told, the crimes committed in the name of love. Splintered, alone, each navigates his pain, believing that what has been lost can never be recovered—until, in Ghana, a new way forward, a new family, begins to emerge.

Ghana Must Go is at once a portrait of a modern family, and an exploration of the importance of where we come from to who we are. In a sweeping narrative that takes us from Accra to Lagos to London to New York, Ghana Must Go teaches that the truths we speak can heal the wounds we hide.

Discuss About Books Ghana Must Go

With all the marketing hype, I was expecting a novel that would blow my mind away. Instead, I struggled to read the first 70% of this book, and only barely scraped through to the end. Sigh. It's not a bad book. It is a potentially great story, but the writing style ruined it for me. Great idea: terrible execution.

If this novel was used in a word association game, my first words would be Zadie Smith's WHITE TEETH. Both debut novels exhibit raw talent and beauty. Both women handle serious topics such as race, class, gender, ambition, social status with tremendous ease. Both novels, however, are incredibly overwritten, dripping with prose that should have been left on the cutting room floor. I'm thinking here of the description of Kweku's death and how Selasi goes in super slo-mo to describe every detail of

This is how a reader gets the distinct feeling of being ripped off: when the publishers are obviously so keen to jump on the publicity bandwagon that they don't bother with a proof read at all. How else would you explain the mis-spelling of the main character's name in the blurb on the back? All through the novel his name is Kweku Sai, the blurb has him Kwaku.Worse: page 79. "Until this very moment Kweku would have bet money that her younger son couldn't have said where he worked-not the name of

When I tell you the girl slayed the ending, the girl slayeeeeeeeeeeeed the ending. Part I was superfluous in places, but once you get into Selasi's rhythm, she has you. A novel built on pacts-- those kept and those broken.Looking forward to more of Selasi's work in the future.

At the beginning it was a bit a confusing and tough read. It starts with the father/husband of the story that starts thinking about his life and family. It was confusing because his memories aren't in chronological order, they go forth and back and he tells about anecdotes giving for granted that the reader knows about them (going on with the story everything will be clarified so there aren't hanging parts). I needed some time to remember the names of the other characters and to know who they

There's a lot of short sentences. For dramatic effect. And a lot of people crying. Hugging their knees. Tears. Coursing down their cheeks. Inner pain. Families hurting.Oh dear. Another reviewer summed this up quite well suggesting that the author is a typical product of US creative writing courses. Americanah is so much better as a narrative of African diaspora dynamics in the US and their struggles with identity
