Award winning novelist Dr Chibundu Onuzo joins us to discuss her latest novel: Sankofa. Sankofa is the surprising story of a mixed-race British woman who goes in search of the West African father she never knew. We discuss some of the timely and thought provoking themes in the novel, such as identity, belonging, African leaders, a vision for Africa, and the novel's soundtrack, cover and title.
