Description
The God Child by Nana Oforiatta Ayim is a powerful exploration of family, identity and cultural heritage. Maya's life is marked by her parents' complex relationships with their past and each other, shaped by the experiences of exile and colonialism.
When Kojo arrives at Christmas, he brings a new perspective on the family's history and Maya begins to understand why her parents are the way they are. But as she returns to Ghana as a young woman, she is reunited with her cousin in a situation that sets off an exorcism of their country's darkest demons.
Through this journey, Maya comes to realise her own purpose: to tell the story of her mother, her cousin and their land on her own terms. A moving and thought-provoking novel about the power of storytelling and the complexities of family history.
