Publisher's Synopsis
Abie has followed the arc of a letter from London back to the coffee groves of the plantation formerly owned by her grandfather. It is a place she remembers from childhood and which now belongs to her - if she wants it. So begins her gathering of the family's history through the tales of her aunts. This is the story of four lives: Asana, Mariama, Hawa and Serah Kholifa, born to the different wives of a wealthy plantation owner in an Africa where change is just beginnning to arrive. Stretching across generations, Ancestor Stones is the story of a nation, a family and four women's attempts to alter the course of their own destiny.
