A Family Torn Apart
The Sai family, originally from Ghana, seemed to have it all - a successful Ghanaian father, Kwaku Sai, who became a respected surgeon in the United States, and his Nigerian wife, Fola, a beautiful homemaker. Together, they created a life that others envied.
But one evening, their world is shattered by a grotesque injustice that leaves Kwaku disillusioned and the family in ruins. Fola is left abandoned, and the children - Olu, Taiwo, Kehinde, and Sadie - find themselves on separate paths, each struggling to navigate their own way in the world.
The Journey to Redemption
As the Sai family members embark on their individual journeys, we witness the depths of their pain, their search for identity, and their attempts to reconcile with their past.
Olu, the eldest son, is determined to rebuild the life his father should have had. Taiwo and Kehinde, the twins, are both brilliant but haunted by their own personal demons. And Sadie, the youngest of the siblings, finds herself consumed by jealousy for her college friend.
It is through tragedy that the Sais are finally forced to confront their past and face the consequences of their actions. As they come together in their grief, the bonds of family love are tested and ultimately affirmed.
An Intertwining of Cultures and Generations
Ghana Must Go beautifully weaves together the stories of the Sai family across generations and cultures. From West Africa to New England, London, and New York, the narrative takes us on a journey that spans continents.
As we follow the Sais on their tumultuous path, we are exposed to the complexities of diaspora life and the clash of cultures. Through Selasi's vivid storytelling, we gain a deeper understanding of the immigrant experience and the challenges faced by those who straddle worlds.
