Maame follows Maddie, a 25-year-old British-Ghanian who has been the primary caregiver to her father who has Parkinson's disease. When her mother who shuttles between London and Ghana decides to finally … Continue reading Book Review: Maame by Jessica George
As a huge fan of this author and one who is trying to go through all her books, this was my random pick from my pile of books in my Jojo Moyes TBR pile.
