Reading your way through the World Cup

Ghana Must Go by Taiye Selasi, Penguin

Ghana Must Go was the much anticipated debut novel of part Ghanaian, part Nigerian Taiye Selasi. Selasi rose to fame when she coined the term 'Afropolitan' to describe a new class of educated, ambitious Africans and sons and daughters of the African diaspora. In Selasi's beautifully written debut, three such Afropolitans must journey to the land of their parents when their estranged father dies suddenly of a heart attack.
