When the much loved and respected husband and wife team -Richard and Judy (and their audience ) voted Dorothy Koomson's, 'Marshmallows for Breakfast' as a Richard & Judy Summer Read of 2006 – Dorothy went stellar over night. An incredible author -Dorothy's (who is also a journalist and lives in both London and Sydney), books are more than 'Chick lit' -and her modern portrayal of relationships are refreshing. With a global fan base -and many accolades, -all five titles written by Koomson, -'The Cupid Effect' (2003), 'The Chocolate Run' (2004), 'My Best Friend's Girl' (2006), 'Marshmallows for Breakfast' (2006) and her latest title, 'Goodnight, Beautiful' (2008) -have spent over twenty-five weeks on the Sunday Times Best-seller List, and have been translated into twenty-eight languages across the world.

ReplyDeleteAnother good author of Ghanaiain heritage is Lesley Lokko. Her book Bitter Chocolate is one of my favourite books! She describes Ghana beautifully in that book!
