A beautifully-written story that explores identity, race, colonialism, and the unique perspective of the African diaspora. The Sankofa is mythical bird that flies forward while looking back, and this theme is brought out in this novel– as the protagonist must come to terms with her own messy and tumultuous past before she can find solace in the present.
