A beautiful and uplifting story of immigration, hope and anguish, based on true events from the critically-aclaimed author of How Far We've Come, which was named The Times Children's Book of the Week.
Dear Kweku, I am still here, writing to you again from the Obroni land. Please, will you accept this cassette recording letter from me?
London, late 1970s. Like thousands of Ghanaians far from home, Adwoa doesn't write letters - she records them, her voice travelling home on cassette tapes for the whole village to gather round and hear.
But Adwoa's tapes are for one person only: Kweku, her best friend that she left behind. She tells him about the cold, the grey, the strange new city. She tells him she is fine. She is always, always fine.
But some things can't be said out loud - not even alone, into a machine.
Inspired by true events,Letters to Kwekuis a devastating and hope-filled story of courage, friendship and survival. The story of a girl who kept on talking, waiting and hoping, one tape at a time.
