We . . . find ourselves in a setting that fires up the senses and offers up an opportunity for us to get to know Anna better . . . Sankofa means not only to retrieve but also to do so in the spirit of taking something good from the past to better the future. Like her protagonist, the writer Onuzo boldly attempts this in her new novel.” —Angela Ajayi, <em>Minneapolis</em> <em>Star Tribune<br> <br> </em>“With wit, humor, and heart, Onuzo spins a page-turner centered on a woman in search of her past . . . Taking on questions of race, belonging and heritage, Onuzo writes with gusto and beautifully illuminates what Sankofa means: ‘a mythical bird . . . it flies forward with its head facing back.’” —Al Woodworth, <em>Amazon Book Review<br> <br> </em>“Onuzo’s clean prose highlights the novel’s hopeful contours.” —Estelle Tang, <em>BuzzFeed<br> <br> </em>"<em>Sankofa</em> is a vivid exploration of finding one’s place in the world, while confronting the demons brought on by our parentage." —Sarah Stiefvater, <em>PureWow</em></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support</a>
