Notes
"An autobiographical memoir"
Description
"At the age of 29, Kay embarks on a search for her birth parents, her head full of the stories her mother invented about an African chief torn away from his Scottish true love. What follows is a journey that zigzags between Lagos and Aberdeen, the bizarre and the domestic, in a quixotic search for that spark of connection to family"--Jacket.
