Sameer, a high-flying city lawyer, has been presented with the opportunity to set up a law from in Singapore. He knows his parents won’t be happy as they’re expecting him to eventually return to Leicester to join the family business. Moving to Singapore is something he can’t pass up, if all goes well it could lead to a partnership! However before he goes, he decides to take a spontaneous trip to Uganda, to visit a family friend and learn more about his family roots.
In Uganda, he discovers some family secrets. He learns more about himself, who he is and who he wants to be. I really liked Sameer as a character. I think being around a toxic family makes you do spontaneous or silly rebellious things just to feel in control of certain aspects of life. He had all these pressures from his family, to get a good education, a good job but then he was meant let that all go to take over a business he has no interest in?
I wish we got a little more from the ending 😫 like what happens?? But overall an enjoyable read!
