To be honest, I first picked up this book because of how absolutely gorgeous the cover was. I’d seen it on the bestseller list and knew that I absolutely had to read the words inside such a beautiful book jacket. Upon completing the book, I can safely say that in this case, it was accurate to judge a book by its cover. Maame was an artfully told story of a girl coming of age in a family where she was forced to grow up long ago.
