I love this series. Sadly it‘s the last in this series and it is very personal to the author, who was born in #Ghana. As in real life, the book involves the attempt to pass a law making homosexuality a crime. The law is being pushed by an American “Christian” group promoting family values. But the opposition starts dying horrible deaths, prompting private detectives (Emma Djan et al) to infiltrate some scary institutions. An excellent new book. ⬇️

Texreader I cannot recommend this author enough. His books are well-written, complex, and deal with very modern issues. I hope to start another of his series. #serieslove @TheSpineView 2d

“ these marks were good for my parents, we are happy and proud that I was born,” she continues. “I am likewise proud to wear them. Most Ghanaian parents don‘t celebrate them this way anymore, but it was once an important tradition.”

I would use this book in my classroom to talk about diversity and different cultures.

Ok having stopped reading two books, I‘ve chosen this replacement, brand new. I love this author and this series. Sadly it‘s the last in the series, all of which are set in #Ghana

This was a very good book and I love the message behind it. I also really enjoyed the illustrations and deeper meaning behind the pictures.

Traditional literature

This book is for book club on Tuesday. I‘m trying to read it amongst unpacking, laundry, packing, and getting the cat out of his latest hiding place. #weekendreads
