The Deep Blue Between

By: Ayesha Harruna Attah

Narrated by: Zoleka Vundla

Twin sisters Hassana and Husseina have always shared their lives.

But after a raid on their village in 1892, the twins are torn apart. Taken in different directions, far from their home in rural West Africa, each sister finds freedom and a new start. Hassana settles in in the city of Accra, where she throws herself into working for political and social change. Husseina travels to Salvador, Brazil, where she becomes immersed in faith, worshipping spirits that bridge the motherland and the new world. Separated by an ocean, they forge new families, ward off dangers, and begin to truly know themselves.

As the twins pursue their separate paths, they remain connected through their shared dreams. But will they ever manage to find each other again?

Another Great Novel by Ayesha

If you're Ghanaian, you'll notice the mispronounced words like Hajia and Kontomire. I wish the reader was a native speaker because some parts of the story lost its meaning and understanding with the mispronounciations.
