Despite the title, Small Worlds delivers us a breathtakingly expansive world. 

An exploration of love - both romantic and familial, Small Worlds is a beautifully written ode to not only Black Britishness but also to Ghana. 

My favourite part is the mirror of father and son that Caleb builds slowly, slowly and then delivers all at once. 

Poignant and Powerful, Azumah Nelson delivers a sophomore novel that somehow trumps the mastery of his debut.
