By Peace Adzo Medie

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Nightbloom by Peace Adzo Medie was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2024 and explores childhood, family and miscommunication.

What We Say: “Cousins Akorfa and Selasi are childhood best friends in Ghana before they become estranged. This novel charts their parallel lives via two very different perspectives: first told by the restrained Akorfa, followed by Selasi’s more emotive voice. The result is an immersive, gripping story of family ties, trauma and power” – Katie Teehan

What They Say: “A formidable exploration of friendship and the intricacies of the relationships that shape us... Touching, bold and thought-provoking, this story is one everyone should read” – Onyi Nwabineli

Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones, and Barnes & Noble
