Publisher's Summary
Included in the Africa Center’s Round-Up of 50 Notable African Books of 2021
From a powerful new voice in commercial fiction comes Zainab Takes New York - a charming rom-com about one woman learning to fall in love in one of the most magical cities on earth. A simultaneous love letter to New York City and to Zainab's ancestors, Ayesha Harruna Attah's novel is perfect for fans of Uzma Jalaluddin, Kiley Reid and Angela Makholwa.
Zainab Sekyi is on a quest to find herself.
She's moving to New York City to pursue her lifelong dream to become an illustrator, but she doesn't just want to get a job. She's also on a mission to make enough money to go on a night out, buy a whole bottle of wine (not just a glass) and, most importantly of all, to fall in love.
But as she grows accustomed to the hustle and bustle of city life - with the help of her new roommate, Mary Grace, and lifelong friend Densua - she begins to hear the voices of her ancestors in her mind....
Could understanding her family's past hold the key to Zainab's future?
