If you think your Thanksgiving is awkward, you should try the fictional yet very real intercultural drama of @nikkimaywriter.bsky.social’s This Motherless Land. The perfectly entertaining, addictive book club read takes place in the environs of Lagos and London.
apps.npr.org/best-books/#...

The colorful and artistic Book cover of This Motherless Land features the overlapping profiles of two women. Against a purple background one face is rendered in yellow and the other in deep orange. A palm tree sprouts in the hair of the darker skinned. A double strand of white pearls creates a ring around their both necks.

Recently enjoyed reading #thismotherlessland by @nikkimaywriter.bsky.social Sometimes it is worth judging a book by its cover! The Grey parrot is only a minor character but the novel's powerful themes of sisterhood and reconciliation went down well with my human. #bookreview
