Just read this book for our book club and was blown away. Can’t believe this was her first novel.

This Video helps me understand the connection between the fiction of the novel and the historical realities behind the construction of the Novel.

Yaa's debut novel is a gem of a work!

[@ejs6204]

It was such an easy and interesting reading. My husband visited Ghana a while back and I almost could see his descriptions and her stories alive as I read this book. It was amazing.

[@HolisticDramaFree]

This was nourishing to my mind ❤️, I’ve been so deprived of captivating conversations for so many years. I’m glad I stumbled upon this video.

We learn about both the traditional and modern forms of slavery in Ghana. I wrote my master thesis on modern slavery and used Ama Darko's Beyond the Horizon! So, we continue to study slavery.

She's such an amazing writer! We have a review of this book on our channel.

[@stephenreggio42]

British governor George McLean married a Ghanaian woman although he has a British wife called leticia London but the sad part is Ghanaian woman name was not recorded and British white wife dies of heart attack.. sorry her parents doesn’t learn about the history, I grow up in cape coast and I do liearn about the slave history. The cape coast castle was built by the Europeans and it’s has nothing to do with the locals Africans. It’s a great novel

[@Mele472]

I don't know about Ghana, but in Southern Africa, we learn about slavery and colonization

[@bismarkadu-num5834]

southern Africa never experienced slavery my sweet darling west Africa did and it's taught in every school even Arabic schools.every GHnNAIJA student knows but I can't speak for the French speaking countries.

[@loveheals6184]

@@bismarkadu-num5834, while it was primarily in West Africa, Angola is an example of a Southern African experience of enslavement. Then there's the Arab practice of enslaving our folks from East Africa.

Great interview. Who is the interviewer?

[@TheCheryontop]

Roger Reeves, I went to college with him for a sec. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Reeves

[@rchu07]

I agree that the interviewer is excellent- he does a close reading of many aspects of the book and provides insight that I really appreciated.

[@Mars-cs5dp]

I need to read what he reads! omg

[@adaneboateng]
