Aminatta Forna, whose moving and gorgeously written memoir garnered international attention, has seamlessly turned her hand to fiction in Ancestor Stones a powerful, sensuous novel that beautifully captures Africa's past century and her present, and the legacy that her daughters take with them wherever they live. Abie returns home from England to West Africa to visit her family after years of civil war, and to reclaim the family plantation, Kholifa Estates, formerly owned by her grandfather. There to meet her are her aunts: Asana, Mariama, Hawa, and Serah, and so begins her gathering of the family and the country's history through the tales of her aunts. Asana, lost twin and head wife's daughter. Hawa, motherless child and manipulator of her own misfortune. Mariama, who sees what lies beyond. And Serah, follower of a Western made dream. Set against the backdrop of a nation's descent into chaos, it is the take a family and four women's attempts to alter the course of their own destiny. A wonderful achievement recalling The God of Small Things and The Joy Luck Club, it establishes Aminatta Forna as a gifted novelist.Binding Type: Paperback

Keeps skin moisturized like a lotion
This is quite a lot larger than I thought it would be when I picked it. It's sized like a lotion bottle. My skin can get dry sometimes, especially in the winter so I picked this up to help prevent it from cracking. This is working well so far.
It's unscented which is what I prefer. I'm not fond of scented oils or lotions on my face and hands. This works very well as a lotion. It melts and absorbs into the skin without leaving any extra color or residue. There's a little bit of a oil sheen to it, but it doesn't stand out. It does not have the oil or grease feeling to it which is great.
It's worked really well this winter. My hands and face are moisturized and looking great. I got this in December 2025 and it expires October 2028. I'll probably use it up before it expires.

Amazingly good
This by far, is the very best product and formulation that I've ever used on my face. I have super sensitive skin and have tried three different brands before trying this. The others I've tried, either had a beefy smell after a little while or contained essential oils that irritated my skin. I almost gave up. This was my last try and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Absolutely no smell and no irritating essential oils or ingredients. It is very soothing and absorbs completely. Thank you Veakoo!! I will definitely keep using this and will be purchasing more. This is a wonderful product and has helped sooo much!

Great product!
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this stuff! My mom introduced this to me while I was visiting her, and within 3 days of using it I knew I needed to order one for myself. It has no smell, goes on buttery soft, and soaks in well. It is not heavy at all. At night I layer it on thicker and during the day I put a very thin layer on under my makeup. My skin is so much softer and hydrated. I have had small bumps on my cheeks for so long and they were gone within 3 days. My skin looks dewy and soft.
I read reviews of other brands that smelled, were oily, or too heavy. This is none of those things and it is a great price!
