I have just finished reading Aftershocks - A Memoir by Nadia Owusu

This was an outstanding memoir, and first book by the author. It is an honest and heartfelt book about her life that spans many countries and cultures.

She had a very special bond with her father and had a mother who abandoned her when she was only two years old.

She was brought up primary by a stepmom, and aunt and her father who worked for the UN so travelled a great deal, but he taught her much about life.

This is an author who has an amazing command of words and story telling

I would highly recommend this book and will watch for more books from her in the future!

Thank you to NetGalley, Author Nadia Owusu, and Simon & Schuster Canada for my advanced copy to read and review.
