Two Susans share a last summer. Susan Carson faces a mind-numbing factory job at the end of summer unless she can prove herself as a professional author. Becoming a companion to the dying artist, Susan Stone, means a chance to have time to write, time she does not have on a hard-working farm in Depression times. The older woman is indomitable, passionate and difficult, but warms to the younger. She shares the stories of her childhood, her dashing father, her marriage, and her life in the art circles of Paris and New York. She completes her last paintings. Young Susan learns of life both vicariously and at firsthand as she listens, writes, faces rejection, falls in love, and acknowledges that she must decide whether her heart or her talent will guide her life.

“Utterly sublime . . . Aduatells a gripping story of war, migration and family, exposing us to the pain and hope that reside in each encounter” (Maaza Mengiste, author of The Shadow King). Adua, an immigrant from Somalia, has lived in Italy nearly forty years. She came seeking freedom from a strict father and an oppressive regime, but her dreams of becoming a film star ended in shame. A searing novel about a young immigrant woman’s dream of finding freedom in Rome and the bittersweet legacies of her African past. “Lovely prose and memorable characters make this novel a thought-provoking and moving consideration of the wreckage of European oppression.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Igiaba Scego is an original voice who connects Italy’s present with its colonial past. Adua is an important novel that obliges the country to confront both memory and truth.” —Amara Lakhous, author of Dispute over a Very Italian Piglet “This book depicts the soul and the body of a daughter and a father, illuminating words that are used every day and swiftly emptied of meaning: migrants, diaspora, refugees, separation, hope, humiliation, death.” —Panorama “A memorable, affecting tale . . . Brings the decolonialization of Africa to life . . . All the more affecting for being told without sentimentality or self-pity.” —ForeWord Reviews “Deeply and thoroughly researched . . . Also a captivating read: the novel is sweeping in its geographical and temporal scope, yet Scego nonetheless renders her complex protagonists richly and lovingly.” —Africa Is a Country
