Maame: A Today Show Read With Jenna Book Club Pick
by Jessica George
What a moving novel. I can’t imagine anyone reading it and not being able to relate to some aspect of it. For me it was the combination of wanting to provide for family but also feeling obligated to do it, the role the only daughter plays (often, not always), and not being able to decide if you’re putting yourself last or if you’re being selfish (it can’t be both but it feels like it is). Her writing is engaging and natural. There’s a lot to think about too about microaggressions in (but not limited to) the workplace, and dating as a black woman. Great debut. Hope she keeps writing.
