You’re welcome, Nana!

Your book was one I bought in Ghana while Mrs SC and I were there last year. Specifically Ghanaian literature isn’t that easy to come by outside of the country. Famous authors like Ayi Kwei Armah or Ama Ata Aidoo apart, it’s books by expatriate Ghanaians like Yaa Gyasi that one comes across. (And one has to look hard even to find these, though Gyasi has been very successful.) So we were keen to visit Ghanaian bookshops and see what was being published locally.

Turns out it’s not that easy to find specifically Ghanaian literature in Ghana either! Our guide book recommended a bookshop (called SyTris) in a mall near the airport in Accra as having “the best collection of contemporary novels in Ghana”. But that turned out to be non-Ghanaian literature for westerners! However the staff were very keen to help us and they did have a small selection of works by local authors – including your book. Perhaps we would have had better luck elsewhere in Accra, but after that we were only able to visit bookshops in Cape Coast.

Thanks for dropping by and saying hello.

Best wishes!

I just read your post about reading my book Tales from Different Tails, in 2019. Thanks a lot and with regards from Ghana.
