Maame with Jessica George

Maame (ma-meh) has many meanings in Twi, but in this case, it means woman.

Meet Maddie Wright. All her life, she’s been told who she is: the one who takes care of the family, her mum’s stand-in, her father’s carer, the one who keeps the peace – and the secrets. It’s time for her to speak up and leave home, Maddie is determined to become the kind of woman she wants to be. But will it take losing everything to find her voice?

As blisteringly funny and achingly relatable as its heroine, Maame is an unforgettable coming-of-age story about finally becoming the heroine of your own life. Join Jessica George for a great night with the author of the most discussed book of 2023!
