Ghana Must Go is Taiye Selasi’s tour de force first novel about a Nigerian-Ghanaian family falling apart between Ghana, the US, England, and Nigeria. Six characters take the reins: the prodigal doctor father Kweku, the beautiful proud entrepreneur mother Fola, the dutiful older son Olu, the tiger eye twins Taiwo and Kehinde, and the sweet baby almost lost Sadie. Each could be described as falling into tropes or stereotype, but they are alive with vibrant and distinct POVs. They may be larger and prettier than real people, but it didn’t mean I didn’t secretly want to meet them in real life, or at the very least read another book about them.
