A kaleidoscopic novel spanning generations and continents that reveals the connections between four women in their struggle for survival. A woman in 15th century West Africa named Ada buries her child and confronts a Portuguese enslaver. A woman in Victorian England named Ada Lovelace a mathematical genius and computer programming pioneer tries to hide her affair with Charles Dickens from her husband. A woman named Ada imprisoned in a concentration camp at Mittelbau-Dora in 1945 will survive one more day in enforced prostitution. Connected by an unknown but sentient spirit and a bracelet of fertility beads that each Ada encounters at a pivotal moment in her life these women share a name and a purpose. As their interwoven narratives converge on a modern day Ada a young Ghanaian woman who finds herself pregnant alone in Berlin searching for a home before her baby arrives their shared spirit will find a way to help her break the vicious cycle of injustice. This novel is a feat of imagination and breaks down simplistic notions of history as a straight line one woman’s experience matters to another’s 400 years later on a different continent. In this deeply moving at times mordantly funny ultimately hopeful book there is a connection between all those fighting for love for family for justice for a home.
