Publisher Description

A “buoyant” and “rapturous” debut novel (The Wall Street Journal) about the transformative power of unconditional love

Electric, exhilarating, and beautifully crafted, Ghana Must Go introduces the world to Taiye Selasi, a novelist of extraordinary talent. In a sweeping narrative that takes readers from Accra to Lagos to London to New York, it is at once a portrait of a modern family and an exploration of the importance of where we come from to who we are.

A renowned surgeon and failed husband, Kweku Sai dies suddenly at dawn outside his home in suburban Accra. The news of his death sends a ripple around the world, bringing together the family he abandoned years before. Moving with great elegance through time and place, Ghana Must Go charts their circuitous journey to one another and, along the way, teaches us that the truths we speak can heal the wounds we hide.

Very good

The characters were excellent and the story good.

Edarkoh ,

An achingly beautiful masterpiece

Powerfully relatable, especially as a Ghanian diaspora kid who was born in America, grew up in Africa and studied medicine in the hospitals referenced in the book. The depth she has imbued the characters with is uncanny and the realness is tempered to perfection. A book I will not be able to shake from my consciousness.

Awesome, emotional, inspirational

This book is amazing. Her writing style is excellent and I adulate her for writing this piece of work. She was very detailed about the characters and I hope she writes another book like Ghana Must Go.
