Book Spotlight & Giveaway: Another Woman’s Daughter by Fiona Sussman (Giveaway Closed)

Title: Another Woman’s Daughter    

Author: Fiona Sussman    

Published: October 2015, Berkley  

Format: Paperback, 304 pages     

Set against the tumultuous background of apartheid South
Africa, a powerful and moving debut about family, sacrifice, and
discovering what it means to belong…

Celia Mphephu knows her place in the world. A black
servant working in the white suburbs of 1960s Johannesburg, she’s all
too aware of her limitations. Nonetheless, she has found herself a
comfortable corner: She has a job, can support her faraway family, and
is raising her youngest child, Miriam.

But as racial tensions
explode, Celia’s world shifts. Her employers decide to flee the
political turmoil and move to England—and they ask to adopt Miriam and
take her with them. Devastated at the prospect of losing her only
daughter, yet unable to deny her child a safer and more promising
future, Celia agrees, forever defining both their futures.

As
Celia fights against the shattering violence of her time, Miriam battles
the quiet racism of England, struggling to find her place in a land to
which she doesn’t belong—until the call of her heritage inexorably draws
her back to Africa to discover the truth behind her mother’s choices
and uncover a heartbreaking secret from long ago…
