This took me back to West Africa! Bamana felt most like Ghana and the cultural references aligned linguistically and ethnically with Ghana. However, the place names were from Mali! Threw me off a little. It’s a sweet story of self-discovery and identity. Some good commentary on Western bias. I overall enjoyed it. The audio book was quite a good listen, the narrator did an excellent job differentiating the accents.
