Wow. This reminds me yet again why I love and gravitate towards multi generational family tales. This one grips you tight from the beginning to the end. We didn’t even get a full scope of everybody’s life but this proves that we don’t need too. The snippets alone were enough to hold my attention and want to visit Accra Ghana and others parts of the continent so much.
