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?
It is the late 1970s in London, and having left her small village in Ghana, Adwoa is writing to her friend Kweku who is back home. She records these letters onto cassette tapes, posting them abroad to tell him all about her new life abroad and about her hopes and dreams. Though Adwoa faces hardships in London, she also makes friends and is hopeful about the future. But it feels like Adwoa is keeping a secret, something that she can't confess to her friend – and why doesn’t Kweku write back?
