Overview
āBeautiful, gripping, and tender . . . a powerful and unforgettableĀ meditation on love, belonging, and motherhood.āāEmilia Hart, author of Weyward
On a Spring afternoon in London, Sam hops the stairs of his flat two at a time. Thereās Ā£1,300 missing from his and his wife, Efeās, shared bank account and his calls are going straight to voicemail. When he finally reaches someone, he learns Efe is nearly 5,000 miles away as their toddler looks around and asks, āWhereās Mummy?ā
When Efe and Sam met as teens headed for university, it seemed everyone knew they were meant to be. Efe, newly arrived in the UK from Ghana and sinking under the weight of her parentsā expectations, found comfort in the focused and idealistic Sam. He was stable, working toward a law career, and had an unwavering vision for their future. A vision Efe, now a decade later, finds slightly insufferable. From the outside, theyāre the picture-perfect couple everyone imagined, but there are cracks in the frame.Ā
When Efe and Sam are faced with an unplanned pregnancy, they find themselves on opposing sides. Fatherhood is everything he has dreamed of, but Efe feels stuck in a nightmare. And when a new revelation emerges, they are forced to confrontĀ just how radically different they want their lives to be. Already swallowed by the demands of motherhood and feeling the dreams she had slipping away once again, Efe disappears.Ā
Rootless is a heartrending love story about motherhood andĀ sacrifice, providing an intimate lookĀ at what happens after a marriage collapses, leading two people to rediscover what they ultimately wantāand if itās still each other. As Efe says, āLove and regret arenāt mutually exclusive.ā
