Product Information
A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR "A beautiful exploration of the often complex parameters of freedom, prejudice, and individual sense of self. Chibundu Onuzo has written a captivating story about a mixed-race British woman who goes in search of the West African father she never knew . . . [A] beautiful book about a woman brave enough to discover her true identity." --Reese Witherspoon "Onuzo's sneakily breezy, highly entertaining novel leaves the reader rethinking familiar narratives of colonization, inheritance and liberation." -- The New York Times Book Review Named a Best Book of the Month by Entertainment Weekly , Harper's Bazaar , and Time - Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Month by Goodreads , PopSugar , PureWow , LitHub , Minneapolis Star-Tribune , and Buzzfeed A woman wondering who she really is goes in search of a father she never knew--only to find something far more complicated than she ever expected--in this " stirring narrative about family, our capacity to change and the need to belong " ( Time ). Anna is at a stage of her life when she's beginning to wonder who she really is. In her 40s, she has separated from her husband, her daughter is all grown up, and her mother--the only parent who raised her--is dead. Searching through her mother's belongings one day, Anna finds clues about the African father she never knew. His student diaries chronicle his involvement in radical politics in 1970s London. Anna discovers that he eventually became the president--some would say dictator--of a small nation in West Africa. And he is still alive... When Anna decides to track her father down, a journey begins that is disarmingly moving, funny, and fascinating. Like the metaphorical bird that gives the novel its name, Sankofa expresses the importance of reaching back to knowledge gained in the past and bringing it into the present to address universal questions of race and belonging, the overseas experience for the African diaspora, and the search for a family's hidden roots. Examining freedom, prejudice, and personal and public inheritance, Sankofa is a story for anyone who has ever gone looking for a clear identity or home, and found something more complex in its place.

A Library Journal Title to Watch "Onuzo displays astonishing imagination and versatility in this fantastic novel about a woman''s search for her personal, familial and national identity, delivered with deadpan humor in captivating prose." --Sefi Atta "Chibundu Onuzo offers a stirring narrative about family, our capacity to change and the need to belong." --Annabel Gutterman, TIME "The slick pacing and unpredictable developments--especially in the depiction of Anna''s enigmatic father--keep the reader alert right up to the novel''s exhilarating ending . . . Onuzo lifts the narrative into an entirely unexpected space. She shows that the healing of fractures and a desire for wholeness can be achieved in the most unexpected of places." --Michael Donkar, The Guardian "In Bamana, a fictionalized West African country, Onuzo is probably at her narrative best. We . . . find ourselves in a setting that fires up the senses and offers up an opportunity for us to get to know Anna better . . . Sankofa means not only to retrieve but also to do so in the spirit of taking something good from the past to better the future. Like her protagonist, the writer Onuzo boldly attempts this in her new novel." --Angela Ajayi, Minneapolis Star Tribune "Powerful . . . This is a beautiful novel that shows it is never too late to find, or redefine, oneself." --Elayna Tucker, Napa Valley Register "Beautifully written, this is a literary love story from a daughter to a father--and shows the disappointment that can come with that relationship." --Zibby Owens, Katie Couric Media "Onuzo''s clean prose highlights the novel''s hopeful contours." --Estelle Tang, BuzzFeed " Sankofa asks all the right questions about how our parents shape our lives." -- Refinery29 "A fascinating story of family, diaspora, and identity." --Emily Burack, Alma "With wit, humor, and heart, Onuzo spins a page-turner centered on a woman in search of her past . . . Taking on questions of race, belonging and heritage, Onuzo writes with gusto and beautifully illuminates what Sankofa means: ''a mythical bird . . . it flies forward with its head facing back.''" --Al Woodworth, Amazon Book Review "A beautifully paced novel that explores the complexities and complications of family relationships, Sankofa is a triumph . . . Onuzo''s career will be one to watch." -- B&N Reads "While Sankofa examines serious subjects of race, and roots, it''s also a page-turner leavened with its fair share of humor." -- Amazon Book Review "An enjoyably readable novel that raises questions of belonging and the search for personal roots." --Lauren Bufferd, BookPage "An engagingly written journey of self-discovery." -- Kirkus Reviews "A riveting, gracefully spare novel of self-discovery . . . Onuzo skillfully builds an authentic but unusual midlife reckoning. Her astute portrait of a woman attempting to find her way to her future by mining the past mirrors the mythical creature from which the story takes its title, a bird that flies forward while looking backward . . . Onuzo shows that making peace with the past can be a starting point toward self-acceptance, and that imperfect families can find common ground in unexpected ways." -- Shelf Awareness "Unscrupulous politicians, irresponsible journalism, and the yawning gap between rich and poor feel deeply personal as Anna''s journey unfolds . . . Fresh and new." -- Library Journal "Spellbinding . . . Onuzu''s spare style elegantly cuts to the core of her themes. The balancing of Anna''s soul-searching with her thrilling discoveries makes for a satisfying endeavor." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Chibundu Onuzo: "Astounding . . . Onuzo stands on the shoulders of Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and from her perch offers her own fresh, but assured view." --Margaret Wilkerson Sexton, author of The Revisioners, A Library Journal Title to Watch "Onuzo displays astonishing imagination and versatility in this fantastic novel about a woman's search for her personal, familial and national identity, delivered with deadpan humor in captivating prose." --Sefi Atta "The slick pacing and unpredictable developments--especially in the depiction of Anna's enigmatic father--keep the reader alert right up to the novel's exhilarating ending . . . Onuzo lifts the narrative into an entirely unexpected space. She shows that the healing of fractures and a desire for wholeness can be achieved in the most unexpected of places." --Michael Donkar, The Guardian " Sankofa asks all the right questions about how our parents shape our lives." -- Refinery29 "A novel poised to be as moving as it is witty." --Liza Mullett, Cultured Magazine "An engagingly written journey of self-discovery." -- Kirkus Reviews "Unscrupulous politicians, irresponsible journalism, and the yawning gap between rich and poor feel deeply personal as Anna's journey unfolds . . . Fresh and new." -- Library Journal "Spellbinding . . . Onuzu's spare style elegantly cuts to the core of her themes. The balancing of Anna's soul-searching with her thrilling discoveries makes for a satisfying endeavor." -- Publishers Weekly "An engaging, intelligent novel that disassembles the pieces of a woman's identity and puts them back together in a new pattern, shuffling the boundaries of the personal, political, and historical." --Aysegul Savas, author of Walking on the Ceiling and White on White Praise for Chibundu Onuzo: "Astounding . . . Onuzo stands on the shoulders of Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and from her perch offers her own fresh, but assured view." --Margaret Wilkerson Sexton, author of The Revisioners, A Library Journal Title to Watch "Onuzo displays astonishing imagination and versatility in this fantastic novel about a woman's search for her personal, familial and national identity, delivered with deadpan humor in captivating prose." --Sefi Atta "The slick pacing and unpredictable developments--especially in the depiction of Anna's enigmatic father--keep the reader alert right up to the novel's exhilarating ending . . .
