In this novel, the author explores the thoughts and experiences of a Ghanaian girl on her travels through Europe. It offers a running commentary on Sissie's feelings of alienation, her reflections on European culture and "civilization" and her return to the warmth of home in Africa. Ama Ato Aidoo has also published her collected plays "The Dilemma of a Ghost/Anowa" and short stories "No Sweetness Here". "Longman African Classics" are designed for the general reader, but are also suitable for schools and universities.
