Small Worlds

De: Caleb Azumah Nelson

Narrado por: Caleb Azumah Nelson

Set over the course of three summers, this novel follows Stephen, a first-generation Londoner born to Ghanaian immigrant parents, brother to Ray, and best friend to Adeline. On the cusp of big life changes, Stephen feels pressured to follow a certain path—a university degree, a move out of home—but when he decides instead to follow his first love, music, his world and family fracture in ways he didn’t foresee. Now Stephen must find a path and peace for himself: a space he can feel beautiful, a space he can feel free. Moving from London, England, to Accra, Ghana, and back again, Small Worlds is an exquisite and intimate new novel about the people and places we hold close, from one of the most “elegant, poetic” (CNN) and important voices of a generation.

I feel free when listening to him

Caleb Azumah Nelson has such a gift. A poetic and beautiful way of speaking that cannot be replicated.

Beautifully written, lovely rhythm

I have nothing in common with this story but fell quickly into the flow and give of the poetry. Very nice. I will listen again.

The author does an excellent job of narrating this important book.

Brilliant

This book is an experience, a treasure. Poetry in prose. So beautifully, carefully, lovingly written.

Breathtaking

Breath-taking and breath-giving. Every page alive in that space between belonging and alienation, finding not the lowest but the highest common denominator. Focusing on the journey but not giving up on the destination. And, the music…
