   Why is Maddie called Maame?

   • Maddie is called Maame from an early age. A name that means woman. She felt the responsibility and power of that name all her life. I found this to be a very interesting part of the story.I enjoyed the second half of the book more than the first part, mainly because I was happy to see change occurring.

   Is Maddie writing a book about her father?

   • SPOILER ALERT- At the end, we DO discover Maddie is writing a book about her father, but it's not implied that the book we're reading is THE book, as the scope of the story then presumably wouldn't involve Maddie's roommates, love life, work life, etc.There's certainly some good here, but the book was just okay for me.
