MAAME is a collection of linked stories about women in a small community in Ghana. Life in the village is a constant rotation between the real and the supernatural. For girls there exists a short window between childhood and adulthood, in which they must learn to navigate a stringent code of conduct, if they are to succeed. But what is success? What makes a good mother? What happens when they have eventually had enough?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAhu is a young woman married at fifteen and widowed with two children at eighteen. She overcomes all odds to set an example for future generations of girls, to enable them to reach out beyond the limits imposed upon them through tradition. Through her beautifully told, lyrical stories about three generations of women, in a style that reflects her subject and setting, Ahu introduces us to her community, the beliefs and customs that swallow many of her compatriots, and her own renaissance that starts in her a personal rebellion and revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vaah, Allua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mawenzi House\/Tsar Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774150290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160","brand":"Allua Vaah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32962895282251,"sku":"9781774150290","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_0cc4db83-f098-44da-b687-cd0d97c70047.jpg?v=1605740332","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/maame-mother-9781774150290","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
