Join prize-winning author Maame Blue to discuss her new novel, The Rest of You, an emotionally wrenching book, set in today’s London and 90s Ghana, exploring generational trauma and what it means to be Black British, surviving the gaps of knowledge around familial migrant journeys.
Spanning three decades and told through the viewpoints of her characters, Whitney, her aunts, Gloria and Aretha, and Maame Serwaa, The Rest of You explores what happens when we try to resolve the mysteries of our past. A powerful tale of womanhood, friendship and the Black British experience.
Maame will be in conversation with prize-winning author Chibundu Onuzo.
