True Murder

A debut novel for the British Ghanaian writer tells of a dark childhood in an apparently safe Devon boarding school.

In the interview Yaba Badoe tells Nicola Barranger about how her work has been 18 years in the creation and how a tragic event in her own childhood drove the narrative in her True Murder.

Drawing on her rich family heritage Yaba also discusses how Ghanaian traditions inform the novel bringing together West Africa and South West England.

"Having read true murder early this year, I was reviewing its impact a few months on. I enjoyed the interview and how the author had drawn on her own childhood experiences to form the novel's central theme"
