Description

A ZERO-MILE JOURNEY follows life in Enkoho – a small village in Ghana with mysterious happenings. Also known as the village that doesn’t exist, Enkoho’s struggles aren’t common knowledge to the outside world because even its inhabitants don’t want to make their association with it known.

The mystery of Enkoho follows its inhabitants wherever they go. From Ghana to Guinea to Senegal to Britain and even America, the pull of the village is always within reach. Outsiders who visit risk being claimed by the village; such is how an American, Helena, comes to call Enkoho home against the intent of her mother, who brings her to the village as a child.

Also in the village is Gyambibi: a conscientious, precocious boy. His family is the wealthiest around but a cataclysm changes that, killing many and devastating their agrarian livelihoods. A vast treasure that can rebuild the destroyed village is inaccessible because it’s also buried under the mystery that is Enkoho. When opportunities open up for Gyambibi to go to America, the village fights his efforts to leave to help those ravaged by hardships.

It took me far longer to read this than I expected. Normally I fly through books, quickly going from one idea to the next. I couldn't do that here because there is such a wealth of detail and so much going on. I was invested in several of the characters, although I hesitate to call them that because they felt real. And they felt real even though there were elements that brought the interlocking stories out of reality.
Overall, this book was amazing. I would recommend this to anyone enjoys books that focus on character development or who enjoy stories from other cultures. The ending was perfect.
Thanks so much to NetGalley for letting me read this amazing book
