Reviews
"Nightbloom is a book about secrets; not just the ones passed between sister-cousins giggling in the dark, but the kinds our families require us to keep, the ones that reshape the landscape of who we become. In this stunning novel, Akorfa and Selasi share common wounds inflicted by the same adults who have vowed to care for them, but those wounds wield drastically different results in each woman. In these pages, Medie has achieved a symphonic feat, weaving a delicate narrative of multivocal familial history, where sameness and difference, sisterhood and division, salve and destruction walk hand in hand on a journey that feels both achingly familiar in its scope, yet fresh and utterly new in its telling."-- Destiny O. Birdsong, author of Nobody's Magic, "A captivating novel that delves into the complexities of female relationships and the societal challenges that seek to suppress women's voices."-- The Messenger, "Evocative... [Medie] immerse[s] the reader in the details of these two otherwise ordinary lives... The shifts in perspective -- from Akorfa's to Selasi's to a short final section narrated in the third person -- add tension and dramatic irony."-- New York Times Book Review, "Peace Adzo Medie is the doyenne of the emotional plot twist. Just when you're sure you've figured it out, she reminds you there are two sides to every story. A book to read and then find someone to discuss it with."-- --Chibundu Onuzo, author of Sankofa, "A hilarious and heartbreaking dual narrative from the perspectives of two cousins who have differing memories of their upbringing."-- Richland Library, "Medie's first novel, His Only Wife , was a knockout and her sophomore venture doesn't disappoint. Focused on friendship, secrets, courage and truth, Nightbloom addresses complex issues with nuance, candor and tenderness."-- Ms. Magazine, Named a Most Anticipated Book of Spring/Summer 2023 by ELLE , Essence , The Root , SheReads , African Arguments, Ms. Magazine, Dandelion Chandelier, The Messenger, & The Floor Magazine
Synopsis
Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction Inseparable when they were girls but now estranged, cousins Akorfa and Selasi have to repair the silences between them or lose each other forever in this moving novel set in Ghana and America from the author of Reese's Book Club pick His Only Wife : "Stunning" (Destiny O. Birdsong, author of Nobody's Magic ) When Selasi and Akorfa were young girls in Ghana, they were more than just cousins; they were inseparable. Selasi was exuberant and funny, Akorfa quiet and studious. They would do anything for each other, imploring their parents to let them be together, sharing their secrets and desires and private jokes. Then Selasi begins to change, becoming hostile and quiet; her grades suffer and she builds a space around herself, shutting Akorfa out. Meanwhile, Akorfa is accepted to an American university with the goal of becoming a doctor. Although hopeful that she can create a fuller life as a woman in America, she discovers the insidious ways that racism places obstacles in her path once she leaves Ghana. It takes a crisis to bring the friends back together, with Selasi's secret revealed and Akorfa forced to reckon with her role in their estrangement. A riveting depiction of class and family in Ghana, a compelling exploration of memory, and an eye-opening story of life as an African-born woman in the United States, Nightbloom is above all a gripping and beautifully written novel attesting to the strength of female bonds in the face of societies that would prefer to silence women.
