Maame by Jessica George Maddie is someone who each of us know. Although many don't have any idea that so much pain, suffering, regret and sorrow are inside. Maybe Maddie is even one of us. The lack of nurturing from a parent, the need to care for an adult parent, the chosen sibling with no responsibility! How can so much time have passed and you're in the same place? Maddie's dad suffers from parkinson's and mom spends every other year in Guyana living her own life, with her brother disassociated until his mother comes back to London. Maddie's career and love life and by on tepid fizzle for years. How will she get through this latest tragedy? Beautifully written and deeply felt, Maame is a treasure!
