Maame
Jessica George"An utterly charming & deeply moving portrait of the joys––and the guilt––of trying to find your own way in life." — Celeste Ng, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Meeting Maame feels like falling in love for the first time: warm, awkward, joyous, a little bit heartbreaking and, most of all, unforgettable." — Xochitl Gonzalez, New York Times bestselling author of Olga Dies Dreaming
Maame (ma-meh) has many meanings in Twi but in my case, it means woman.
It's fair to say that Maddie's life in London is far from rewarding. With a mother who spends most of her time in Ghana (yet still somehow manages to be overbearing), Maddie is the primary caretaker for her father, who suffers from advanced stage Parkinson's. At work, her boss is a nightmare & Maddie is tired of always being the only Black person in every meeting.
When her mum eturns from her latest trip, Maddie seizes the chance to move out of the family home & finally start living. A self-acknowledged late bloomer, she’s ready to experience some important “firsts”: She finds a flat share, says yes to after-work drinks, pushes for more recognition in her career, & throws herself into the bewildering world of internet dating. But when tragedy strikes, Maddie is forced to face the true nature of her unconventional family, & the perils—and rewards—of putting her heart on the line.
Smart, funny, & affecting, Jessica George's Maame deals with the themes of our time with humor & poignancy: from familial duty & racism, to female pleasure, the complexity of love, & the life-saving power of friendship. Most important, it explores what it feels like to be torn between two homes & cultures―and it celebrates finally being able to find where you belong.
