Selasi moves between Ghana, Nigeria, America, memory, childhood, and adulthood with a kind of emotional fluidity that mirrors the instability of diaspora itself. Everyone in the novel is brilliant in some way, articulate, high-achieving, deeply loved, and almost entirely unable to communicate honestly with one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"1131\"\u003eSelasi is interested in intimacy, shame, pressure, and inheritance at the level of gesture and silence. The prose can shift from lush to surgical within a paragraph, but underneath it is a very precise understanding of family performance and emotional estrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1133\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA clean 2014 Penguin paperback with light general shelf wear and strong overall condition.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bower studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44572069462099,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/0268\/2707\/files\/Yourparagraphtext_92.png?v=1778116873","url":"https:\/\/bowerbooks.com\/products\/ghana-must-go-by-taiye-selasi","provider":"bower books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
