![]() ![]() When the idea of the book club came up it was another lightbulb moment where I knew this wasn't only going to be a success but really fun. We grew up together and you learn very quickly that when she gets an idea in her head, you would be an idiot not to back her to see it through. I have known Linda for a very, very long time. I love reading novels like this that really make you think about what family really is and what identity means.Īka Mimi. The experience in Kenya and the characters are so vibrant. There is so much history that travel has been able to unravel for them, and as some truths are uncovered their relationship becomes strained and Kiama has to go through a different kind of grieving process. ![]() ![]() How do you decide where "home" is? The perspective of the two characters jumps back and forth in time as you piece together the connection between Yvonne and Kiama. This book is all about what makes a family, a family. She was best friends with his mother but has not featured heavily in his life. The connection between Kiama and Yvonne is complex. Kiama is a slightly spoilt young adult going back to reconnect with the mother that he lost by going back to Kenya, where she lived but also died. One of the best novels I have read so far this year! ![]()
