From the award-winning author of The Dancing Tortoise comes another riveting novel detailing the lives of contemporary Ghanaians. Shadow of Shame: Innocence is the fascinating story of teenage pregnancy and the conflict between young love and age old traditions. When May, a final year student, falls pregnant she suffers terrible persecution from her mother as well as being unable to take her final year exams. Forced to leave home, she goes to stay with her paternal grandmother. Fiifi, the father of her child does not escape punishment either. His father disowns him, and he too is foced to abandon his university education and look for a job. Years later, Liza, the daughter born from thier misadventure, is sent to live with a relative of Fiifi's in England, a visit that is full of excitement, adventure and intrigue. But will history repeat itself? The narrative weaves back and forth in time between the cities of Accra and London with Naaotua's typical wit and grace. Yet again she has created a thought-provoking, heart-warming story with a cast of characters so colourful they stay with you way beyond the final page.
