Caleb Azumah Nelson dazzled readers with his debut novel "Open Water," and he makes an equally riveting story revisiting London in "Small Worlds." The story begins with 18-year-old British Ghanaian Stephen, whose love of music and dance differs from the life his parents have laid out for him. The pressure to make his parents proud battles with his dream to pursue music alongside his brother, Raymond. Stephen must face the consequences chasing his dreams may cost, including the rupturing of the family that has sacrificed everything. Set over the course of three summers, Stephen navigates the intertwining relationships between his family and his future in this quintessential coming-of-age tale.
