Description
An extraordinary tale of two teenagers who were never meant to be friends, this page-turner transports readers to a bustling market in Ghana's capital city where one friendship transforms two lives. When Faiza, a migrant girl from northern Ghana, and Abena, a wealthy doctor's daughter from the south meet by chance in Accra's largest market where Faiza works as a porter, or kaya girl, they strike up an unlikely and powerful friendship that transcends their social inequities and opens up new worlds to them both. Set against a backdrop of class disparity in Ghana, The Kaya Girl explores how two teenage lives are indelibly impacted by a barrier-defying friendship. This gorgeously transporting work offers vivid insight into two strikingly diverse young lives in Ghana.
