I thoroughly enjoyed this emotional and powerful tale. It has some wonderful, realistic characters as well as being beautifully and vividly written. It contains themes of slavery and racial discrimination, these themes resonating throughout time, as the title suggests. It‘s a thought provoking story, very pertinent to today‘s world, a tale of adversity, hardship and survival, but ultimately it‘s a story of hope and forgiveness. #Pigeonhole

The Book of Echoes follows Ngozi in Nigeria and Michael in Brixton. We watch how they get through their difficult lives and how those difficulties mold them into the adults they become. All of trois while a close ancestor watches over them telling us snatches of her story. Beautiful writing and moving scenes worthy of being captured on film, I highly recommend this debut novel by Rosanna Amaka.

Oh my, this is a thing of beauty! The life of a young African women, wrenched from her homeland for a life of slavery, echoes down through the generations to the 1980s, to Michael, in Brixton (London) and Ngozi, in Obowi (Nigeria), both strive to escape the life of poverty they find themselves in. Amaka‘s prose is beautiful, her characters well-drawn. I just love everything about this book.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Sounds good! Pretty cover too 💙 5y
