What you need to know before your trail
Twin sisters Hassana and Husseina’s home is in ruins after a brutal raid. But this is not the end but the beginning of their story, one that will take them to unfamiliar cities and cultures, where they will forge new families, ward off dangers and truly begin to know themselves.

Travel Guide
From Brazil to West Africa
The Hundred Wells of Salaga inspired this novel, The Deep Blue Between. This new novel follows twins Hassana and Vitória after they are separated in a human caravan – the very same one which sent Aminah, their little sister, to Kintampo and to Salaga.
This is the story of what happened next. The author transports the reader to the worlds of Accra, Lagos, and Bahia in the 1890s.
