What People are Saying About Gold Coast Dilemma

“I couldn’t put Gold Coast Dilemma down — it’s Crazy Rich Asians meets Ghanaian high society, packed with breathtaking traditions, scandalous secrets and unapologetic opulence. Nana Malone has been a favorite of mine for years, and this new book weaves a story so vivid and glamorous, it feels like you’re right there in the heart of it all!” — Kennedy Ryan, author

“With a perfect sense of aplomb, Malone not only brilliantly pairs up a couple with off-the-charts sexual chemistry, she also writes with keen insight and a deliciously sharp sense of wit about the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters. Malone also makes an impassioned case for the importance of books and reading, offering some timely commentary on the lack of diversity in publishing, and gloriously celebrating Ghanaian food and culture.” – BookList Review
