"As you read this book, get ready to go on a journey through life’s ups and downs and the amazing strength of family relationships."
'Father-Time Continuum' by Tósìn Akọmoláfẹ embarks on an exciting journey from Lagos, Nigeria, to London, UK. The book is elegantly told through Akándé’s eyes as the chapters take us through his experiences from childhood, adolescence and finally adulthood. In the initial chapters, we encounter a young and curious Akándé in Nigeria, setting the stage for a comprehensive tale of his journey into fatherhood as an adult in the UK. Throughout the story, Akándé grapples with intense emotions, ranging from happiness to sadness, as he unravels the intricate stories of the father figures in his life and navigates his own path towards parenthood. As Akándé encounters common parental mistakes in his family history, he finds comfort and wisdom through the remarkable women who surround him. 'Father-Time Continuum' touches on a range of interesting topics such as intergenerational trauma and exploring the emotions that come with having one foot in two countries. The book also explores societal stigma around mental health. This sentence especially resonated with me: “Why were we only ever told about the good things in life and never warned about the bad?”. As you read this book, get ready to go on a journey through life’s ups and downs and the amazing strength of family relationships.
