Maame by Jessica George is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a well-crafted story that delves into the complexities of culture, grief, mental health, and family systems. This book is a true gem that you won't want to miss. It's so good that you might even regret not having a physical copy on your shelf to showcase its brilliance.

The plot, characters, and narration are all on point, making this a perfect page-turner. What sets this book apart from others is how thought-provoking it is. You'll find yourself lost in contemplation as you navigate the intersections of the themes that George so skillfully weaves into the narrative.
