Synopsis "Sankofa: 'A Fantastic Novel About a Woman'S Search for her Identity'Sefi Atta"
A funny, gripping and surprising story of a mixed-race British woman who goes in search of the West African father she never knew, by award-winning author Chibundu Onuzo.'A fantastic novel about a woman's search for her personal, familial and national identity' SEFI ATTA'Utterly compelling' STYLISTAnna grew up in England with her white mother and knowing very little about her West African father.
