Castles from Cobwebs by J.A. Mensah
CASTLES FROM COBWEBS by J A MENSAH
This is a glorious coming of age novel following a young girl growing up in a convent after she was found by nuns as a baby left in the snow. The girl finds out that her family are Ghanaian and she finally gets the opportunity to learn about herself and meet people who look like her after craving it for so long.
The reason I read this book this month is because of its spooky title and because there is a spooky element of magic weaved throughout.
I really enjoyed the juxtaposition between the snowy and cold convent and the lovely and warm Ghana. The contrast really highlighted how lonely life must have been for the girl growing up around white people who taught her nothing about her ancestors or family.
I enjoyed this book and I recommend it for any month of the year.
