Homegoing

Multigenerational saga of slavery's enduring legacy.

"Homegoing" by Yaa Gyasi might just redefine how you view history and its lingering impact on today's society. The novel's spanning across centuries showcases how deeply personal narratives can interweave to speak for a collective experience. Gyasi's delicate handling of complex themes might offer you a new lens to perceive the shaping of individual lives by historical forces, encouraging a profound recognition of the past's echo in the present.

Description

Effia and Esi: two sisters with two very different destinies. One sold into slavery; one a slave trader's wife. The consequences of their fate reverberate through the generations that follow. Taking us from the Gold Coast of Africa to the cotton-picking plantations of Mississippi; from the missionary schools of Ghana to the dive bars of Harlem, spanning three continents and seven generations, Yaa Gyasi has written a miraculous novel - the intimate, gripping story of a brilliantly vivid cast of characters and through their lives the very story of America itself.Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portraits, Homegoing is a searing and profound debut from a masterly new writer.
