Nineteen years after leaving Ghana, Eyram returns to the Atlantic coast for her grandmother's funeral. She expects grief, difficult memories and a house full of ghosts. She does not expect to find Kweku—the man she once loved—still living across the road.
Their separation was never as simple as either believed. Letters went missing. Family loyalties concealed painful truths. Decisions made in the name of love changed the course of two lives.
Now, as a controversial coastal development threatens the community and Eyram's family home, she and Kweku must confront the past while navigating new conflicts of ambition, loyalty and trust.
Can two people recover a love interrupted by nineteen years of silence? And can forgiveness survive the truth about those who kept them apart?
Set against the beauty and turbulence of Ghana's Atlantic coast, When Sea Water Turned Sweet is an emotionally compelling novel about second chances, family secrets, the courage to confront the past and the extraordinary resilience of love.
Some loves never leave. They simply wait for the right tide.
