 Rootless was a real favourite. It’s the story of Efe, a Ghanian woman living in the UK. Themes of motherhood particularly, but also marriage , mental health, migration, cultural expectations, and their intersections were explored in really powerful and unapologetic ways.The story started in the middle which grabbed my attention. Possibly a little too long and I have very mixed feelings about the ending but definitely a worthwhile read.
