Rootless

"Sam gets home one evening to find that his wife, Efe, has left him and their toddler. Confused, angry and worried, Sam tracks her down – only to learn that she’s in Ghana, thousands of miles away from their London home. The book then takes us back in time to Efe’s youth and her arrival in the U.K., bound for high school and then university. Efe has always struggled with conflict between who she’s expected to be and who she is – and in this tender debut, we follow her as she navigates her friendship and later her romance with Sam and balances her own desires alongside her family’s."
