"In Aakonu, a small village on the coast of Ghana, life is a constant tussle between the reality of the mundane and the superstitions presided over by the local priestess. In this setup, girls in their puberty can only look forward to marriage--often to men old enough to be their fathers and already with other wives. Ahu, a young widow of eighteen, defies tradition and refuses to remarry. Overcoming all odds, she sets up a village eatery and raises her children, educating them all and finally sending the eldest girl, Bomo, to university. Her rebellion and success are an inspiration for the generation of girls growing up, to reach out beyond the limits imposed upon them by ancient tradition. Through these beautifully told, lyrical stories about herself, her daughter Bomo, the beautiful but tragic Ebela, and the childless Aso, and others, Ahu introduces us to her community, and the beliefs and customs that keep its families together but in the end also stifle its girls' futures."--

Story telling 'Anansisem' (meaning Anansi stories) has been a source of entertainment and also education for children in Ashanti for generations. Most of the stories were originally told orally and it was through the respect for tradition and the will to preserve the tradition and custom by the Ashantis that most of the children's stories survive today. In this collection of stories, there is a retelling of stories that have been told by parents and grandparents many years ago, to their children and grandchildren, most of whom are still alive. There may be additions here and there in an attempt to bring the gist of the story up to date and to help children of other nations to understand the stories better. Nevertheless, particular attention has been paid to maintaining the authenticity and integrity of an Ashanti folktale as told and known over the generations.The heroes in these tales are the animals of the forest, the Chiefs and people of villages, sometimes both are the heroes. The clever advice of the village doctor saved an unfortunate child being born by a selfish and callous woman in the 'Tale of Two Barren Women'; and a lesson is told in why we should leave things and creatures in their natural habitat in 'Trouble Seeks No man ... Man Seeks Trouble'; and there is also a lesson to be learned in 'Why Nephews Inherit in Ashanti'.

Maame is a collection of linked stories about women in a small community in Ghana. Life in the village is a constant rotation between the real and the supernatural. For girls there exists a short window between childhood and adulthood, in which they must learn to navigate a stringent code of conduct, if they are to succeed. But what is success? What makes a good mother? What happens when they have eventually had enough? Ahu is a young woman married at fifteen and widowed with two children at eighteen. She overcomes all odds to set an example for future generations of girls, to enable them to reach out beyond the limits imposed upon them through tradition. Through her beautifully told, lyrical stories about three generations of women, in a style that reflects her subject and setting, Ahu introduces us to her community, the beliefs and customs that swallow many of her compatriots, and her own renaissance that starts in her a personal rebellion and revolution.

An internationally award-winning writer makes her triumphant American debut in this emotionally powerful story—a potent blend of Queenie and The Vanishing Half—about a woman’s journey to uncover a foundational family secret from the childhood she does not remember. On the cusp of thirty, Ghanaian Londoner Whitney Appiah was born with a special gift. The massage therapist can physically sense where her clients’ trauma lies and heal them. But Whitney has no idea that she too, is suffering. Tragic events from her youth have left a terrible, unseen mark. When a dangerous encounter with the man she’s dating triggers a wave of fragmented recollections, Whitney embarks on a journey to reclaim her memories and the truth that is buried deep in her early years growing up in Kumasi, Ghana during the 1990s. Spanning three decades, told through the viewpoints of Whitney, sisters Gloria and Aretha, and their house help Maame Serwaa, The Rest of You explores what happens when we try to move forward through the lacuna of our past. A strikingly original novel inspired by the Twi proverb of Sankofa: looking back in order to move forward, The Rest of You is a story of generational healing, what it means to be Black British, and surviving familial migrant journeys. Tackling darkly serious themes yet full of hope and optimism, and told with an eye towards the future, Maame Blue’s extraordinary tale is an unforgettable celebration of womanhood, friendship, and family.
