Synopsis: When a woman travels
to Nigeria to attend the funeral of the father she never knew, she
meets her extravagant family for the first time, a new and inspiring
love interest, and discovers parts of herself she didn't know were
missing, from Jane Igharo, the acclaimed author of Ties That Tether.
Hannah
Bailey has never known her father, the Nigerian entrepreneur who had a
brief relationship with her white mother. Because of this, Hannah has
always felt uncertain about part of her identity. When her father dies,
she's invited to Nigeria for the funeral. Though she wants to hate the
man who abandoned her, she's curious about who he was and where he was
from. Searching for answers, Hannah boards a plane to Lagos, Nigeria.
In
Banana Island, one of Nigeria's most affluent areas, Hannah meets the
Jolades, her late father's prestigious family--some who accept her and
some who think she doesn't belong. The days leading up to the funeral
are chaotic, but Hannah is soon shaped by secrets that unfold, a culture
she never thought she would understand or appreciate, and a man who
steals her heart and helps her to see herself in a new light. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this one! I was familiar with Jane Igharo because of her previous work, Ties That Tether, so I was really interested in seeing what her next book would be like. I really enjoyed the set up of this one. I just was very interested in Hannah's journey as she discovers a family that she never really knew.
I really liked getting to experience Nigeria, visiting different places through the pages.
I liked Hannah and following her journey of discovery. She got to fit a lot of pieces into her personal puzzle with this trip.
I also liked the romance, which is a good chunk of this story.
I'd say, this is another good story by Jane Igharo. I liked it and I'd definitely recommend picking it up off the shelf and giving it a read.
Jane Abieyuwa Igharo, author of Ties That Tether, was born in Nigeria and immigrated to Canada at the age of twelve. She has a journalism degree from the University of Toronto and works as a communications specialist in Ontario, Canada. When she isn't writing, she's watching "Homecoming" for the hundredth time and trying to match Beyoncé's vocals to no avail.
