Description
Abie's family leaves her a coffee plantation, and she returns to Africa to find herself in a place suspended between past and present. As she gathers the stories of her four aunts - each woman recounts her life from a mass of muddied memories and vivid recollections of their shared father. Their tales reveal an Africa drawn to the temptations of the West but desperate to cling to its own ways. Through their stories, Abie begins to understand the complexities of her family's past and the secrets they shared. This novel explores the lives of four women, each with their own unique experiences and perspectives, as they navigate the challenges of their time.
