Book Synopsis

Beyond the Horizon is the heart-wrenching debut novel by award-winning author Ammo Darko, telling the tale of a young Ghanaian woman tricked into a life of exploitation by her husband.

Mara stares in the mirror, searching for the woman she used to know. The sweet, innocent woman that was excited to marry the man her father chose for her, to start a family and live in a house of her own. But her husband had other plans.

Determined to make his fortune in Europe, Mara''s husband expects her to sacrifice everything to make his dreams come true but the sacrifice is more than she could ever have imagined...

Beyond the Horizon is a gripping and provocative story of the plight of African women, the lies they were sold about life in Europe, and the false hopes of those they leave behind.
