The Hundred Wells of Salaga: A Novel | 
Just discovered this book by reading about it in my college's alumnae magazine since she attended my alma mater. It sounds powerful and amazing, and I can't wait to read it.
pick“A skillful portrayal of life in pre-colonial Ghana emphasizes distinctions of religion, language, and status…[Attah] has a careful eye for domestic and historical detail.” —The Guardian
IT IS THE MOST EPIC OF NEW BOOK DAYS! Here are some of today‘s new books! And there‘s a whole bunch more out now, including a couple I‘m really excited about but don‘t have physical copies to show you, including THE COLLECTED SCHIZOPHRENIAS by Esmé Weijun Wang, ON THE COME UP by Angie Thomas, and NO BEAST SO FIERCE by Dane Huckelbridge. What are you excited about? ?❤️?
“A powerful and moving novel that intricately explores the Salaga slave market as it hurtles toward its final days, seen through the eyes of two women whose opposite circumstances converge. Attah‘s gift is her staggering ability to depict the personal within the past, to show us a moment in Ghana‘s history from those who lived it, making for an urgent, poignant experience.” —Gabe Habash, author of Stephen Florida
