“Sparkling.” The New York Times
“An utterly charming and deeply moving portrait of the joysand the guiltof trying to find your own way in life.” Celeste Ng, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Our Missing Hearts
“Lively, funny, poignant . . . Prepare to fall in love with Maddie. I did!” Bonnie Garmus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry
Maame (ma-meh) has many meanings in Twi but in my case, it means woman.
Its fair to say that Maddies life in London is far from rewarding. With a mother who spends most of her time in Ghana (yet still somehow manages to be overbearing), Maddie is the primary caretaker for her father, who suffers from advanced stage Parkinsons. At work, her boss is a nightmare and Maddie is tired of always being the only Black person in every meeting.
So when her mum returns from her latest trip, Maddie seizes the chance to move out of the family home and finally start living. A self-acknowledged late bloomer, shes ready to experience some important firsts: She finds a flat share, says yes to after-work drinks, pushes for more recognition in her career, and throws herself into the bewildering world of internet dating. But when tragedy strikes, Maddie is forced to face the true nature of her unconventional family, and the perilsand rewardsof putting her heart on the line.
Smart, funny, and affecting, Jessica George’s Maame deals with the themes of our time with humor and poignancy: from familial duty and racism, to female pleasure, the complexity of love, and the life-saving power of friendship. Most important, it explores what it feels like to be torn between two homes and culturesand it celebrates finally being able to find where you belong.
“Meeting Maame feels like falling in love for the first time: warm, awkward, joyous, a little bit heartbreaking and, most of all, unforgettable.” Xochitl Gonzalez, New York Times bestselling author of Olga Dies Dreaming
