HOME IS A SILHOUETTE is a stunning debut by Kataru Yahya, spinning a multi-POV loose retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in Ghana, where not all fairy tales are magical. Some are brutal.
Asiya Abdullah has it all. But still, her heart is restless. She yearns for a closer relationship with her mother and friends who truly care about her. When a single mistake forces her into the grasp of a successful, powerful, and wanted man, Asiya's life is thrust into a dark and violent world hidden behind the glittering walls of a mansion.
Lila has long since given up the idea of escaping. Five years have been stolen from her, and with little to go back to, she obediently serves as a maid to the Master of the house. Lila knows she's a shell of herself and surrounded by people she cannot trust, but with nowhere as a home for her heart, what else can she do?
When the two girls' paths converge, their worlds shatter.
