The House Girl: A Novel (P.S.)

Product Information

Didn’t Nana and Doctor Otuo feel boxed in or too small here? Why did the cars pass right in front of the house – where was the perimeter wall? The swimming pool? Not only that, but I also came across a scene which I had enjoyed the first time round but which the second time seemed like the key to understand the novel's (apparently) untidy ending. Belinda and Mary are on a bus, and a woman loudly complains that the newspaper's daily puzzle section is always too difficult. Mary interjects:

She had a similarly tough time in Ugly, particularly when it appeared Samira Terzi would catch one of what appeared to be two remaining spots. However, she was saved when House decided to fire Samira instead. Discover a new community on the edge of open countryside a short commute from Newcastle city centre At no point do they ask Belinda about what she wants, something that Belinda comes to realise as she becomes an independent thinker through her stay in London and her studies in her multicultural/all-ages GCSE classes.What I appreciate about this debut novel by Michael Donkor is that it centers on the lives of three girls---Belinda, Mary, and Amma---three very different girls all sharing Ghanaian heritage. I also appreciate that the book is trans-national set in both Ghana and England (London, particularly). As I got into the book more, I believed (and still do) that it would have been better served as a Young Adult novel. The themes Donkor presents are perfect for that genre, and if written as YA fiction to that particular audience I think it would have been much better. And I love good YA fiction. Then reading afterward that he teaches high school cemented my argument that he should have written this as a YA novel. Meanwhile, Doctor and Nana, a wealthy Ghanaian couple that lives in London, has their own troubles. Their teen daughter Amma is acting out in school, and is undergoing depressive episodes. They reach out to their old friends in Ghana (Uncle and Aunty), who offer to loan out their house girl Belinda to the former, since Belinda is levelheaded, and is likely to restore Amma to her brilliant former self. This was in part because Henson wanted to ensure that every detail was exact, given the limited amount of furnishing. Throughout the episode Under My Skin, the hallucinations of Amber went from being helpful to more sinister, cruel, and violent.

This sentiment echoes Delaney's intentions. In an interview with Dezeen, he explained how he wanted to make the house feel like the protagonist of the novel.

Hold follows the story of Belinda who is a housegirl in Ghana before she is employed to travel to London and become the companion of the wayward Amma, and the friendship between the two girls.Apart from her surname, which indicates a Greek heritage, little is known about Amber before showing up in The Right Stuff. She was born on September 10, 1978, according to her hospital admission bracelet in Wilson's Heart. Her medical school diploma, which is still on display in her old apartment, appears to be from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, one of the top medical schools in the United States. She would have also completed a residency in radiology - the use of radiological imaging in treating the disease, then a fellowship in interventional radiology. That initially threw up this question of 'how can you create a space which you can shoot in for that period of time without it becoming boring?'" he added. To avoid confusing viewers, Henson decided to employ effects that made it appear as though the women were living in different seasons. Hold is the debut novel from Michael Donkor and has just been published by Fourth Estate. Moving between Ghana and London, Hold is described as ‘an intimate, moving, powerful coming-of-age novel’, telling the story of Belinda, a young Ghanaian who finds herself living in London, so utterly different from her life as a housegirl in Ghana. House finally realized the problem was the Vicodin, and during his withdrawal, Amber constantly tortured him, laughing and telling him he was worthless. However, once the withdrawal period was over, the hallucination appears to have vanished for good.
