Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Ghana Must Go

Kweku Sai is dead. A renowned surgeon and failed husband, he succumbs suddenly at dawn outside his home in suburban Accra. The news of Kweku’s death sends a ripple around the world, bringing together the family he abandoned years before. Ghana Must Go is their story. Electric, exhilarating, beautifully crafted, Ghana Must Go is a testament to the transformative power of unconditional love, from a debut novelist of extraordinary talent.  

Moving with great elegance through time and place, Ghana Must Go charts the Sais’ circuitous journey to one another. In the wake of Kweku’s death, his children gather in Ghana at their enigmatic mother’s new home. The eldest son and his wife; the mysterious, beautiful twins; the baby sister, now a young woman: each carries secrets of his own. What is revealed in their coming together is the story of how they came apart: the hearts broken, the lies told, the crimes committed in the name of love. Splintered, alone, each navigates his pain, believing that what has been lost can never be recovered—until, in Ghana, a new way forward, a new family, begins to emerge.

Ghana Must Go is at once a portrait of a modern family, and an exploration of the importance of where we come from to who we are. In a sweeping narrative that takes us from Accra to Lagos to London to New York, Ghana Must Go teaches that the truths we speak can heal the wounds we hide.

Assess Based On Books Ghana Must Go

Very impressive debut novel about a Nigerian/Ghanaian family who are fragmented when Kweku, the father, is wrongly dismissed from his post as a surgeon in a Massachusetts hospital. Too ashamed to admit his predicament to his family he abandons them and moves back to his native land. His loyal Nigerian wife Fola and their four children are left to piece together the mystery of his disappearance. The novel begins with Kweku dying of a heart attack in his new Ghanaian home. To all intents and

With all the marketing hype, I was expecting a novel that would blow my mind away. Instead, I struggled to read the first 70% of this book, and only barely scraped through to the end. Sigh. It's not a bad book. It is a potentially great story, but the writing style ruined it for me. Great idea: terrible execution.

Sometimes I have trouble falling into the rhythm of a writer's voice. It takes time, like listening to Shakespeare. At first you struggle to listen (to hear), then all of sudden you've found the cadence and you're reading effortlessly. This book took longer than most. It's not an easy read. There's lots of movement back and forth in time. It's very complex. The writing unusual. The beginning seemed almost a stream of consciousness...run-on sentences, incomplete sentences, some of it seemed

So often this book read like a long prose poem. This paragraph tells of Olu, the eldest son who has followed in his father's footsteps and become a doctor, sitting in his obsessively white New York bedroom after just learning that his long absent father has died at the age of 57 in Ghana. "He sits in his scrubs with the shirt in the dark, with the moon making ice of the floor and the walls, and thinks maybe she's right, all this white is oppressive, apathetic; a bedroom shouldn't be an OR. In

Ghana Must Go was pure poetry!!!!! Taiye Selasi portrayed this story by revealing each character's innermost thoughts and feelings, multiple viewpoints, piece by piece, about a family from Africa... This story begins with Kweku's fatal heart attack in Ghana in his fifties. He is married to Ama, a woman who loves him, wanting nothing from him, demanding nothing. She is content. "He believes he loves Ama because of the symmetry between them, between his capacity for provision and her prerequisites

After spending ages at a Waterstones in London, during one of my Me Time trips where I got to wander around freely, I decided on Ghana Must Go. I had come across Ghana Must Go and Chimamanda Adichies Americanah through links from Myslexia.At first, I could not get into it -mostly because I could not concentrate at the time. I had to reread the first few pages a few times. It may sound dumb, but I was confused by the cameraman and only understood later on, or I thought I did, when Mr Lamptey said

Much as I resisted it to start with, I ended up loving this beautiful novel about a complex African-American family full of secrets, estrangements, and shifting alliances. Despite their disparate settings, the storyline reminded me most of Maggie OFarrells Instructions for a Heatwave.With its wise commentary on race and class in America, it also brought to mind one of my absolute favorites, On Beauty by Zadie Smith, whom I think Selasi is destined to join in the top rank of contemporary authors.
