Book cover, 2022
Nadia Owusu is a woman of many languages, homelands and identities. Following her father, a United Nations official, she grew up between Europe and Africa, a witness of poverty, violence, racism. He lived in Rome, Dar es Salaam, Addis Ababa, Kumasi, Kampala and London, and for every new place there was a new language, a new identity and a new home to live in. The instability of Nadia's nomadic childhood is aggravated by family secrets and fractures, lived and inherited. She describes her life as an aftershock, that anxious moment after an earthquake, when you don't know if another is coming or not.
The book was first written in USA then translated into many languages. The Italian version was curated by NRedizioni.
