ReceptionUzodinma Iweala reviewing Ancestor Stones "wanted to know more: how the characters feel about one another, not just how they feel about the chaotic events they’re describing."[1] Bernardine Evaristo, writing in The Guardian, found the book's backcover blurb, "The Story of 20th-century Africa ...." "ridiculous", but found it "a wonderfully ambitious novel written from the inside" and concluded "This is her [Forna's] first novel, but it is too sophisticated to read like one."[2]Ancestor Stones has also been reviewed by BookList,[3] Choice Reviews,[4] Library Journal,[5] Publishers Weekly,[6] Kirkus Reviews,[7] African Business,[8] Entertainment Weekly,[9] and The New Yorker.[10]Awards
