"Several times throughout the novel, characters glimpse their reflections in surfaces overlaid with what is outside: a corpse, bare branches. This is an apt metaphor for the novel itself as layers of history accumulate, a palimpsest of upheavals that are always both personal and part of larger political forces that show the power-seeking (“the luckiest”) attempting to crush the powerless. This is a novel that demands a great deal emotionally and intellectually of the reader, but its boldness and ambition leave an indelible imprint.
A rule-shattering novel about the presentness of the past."

#AdasRealm is one of the recommended reads of #TheBritishBlackList this month!
"When we first collide with Ada, she is living in a small village in soon-to-be Ghana ... As we follow her story and the centuries progress, Ada will transform into a mathematical genius, a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps, and a pregnant Ghanaian woman seeking a new start in Berlin in 2019. Ada is everywhere and everyone."
