Homegoing
Effia and Esi: two sisters with two very different destinies. One sold into slavery; one a slave trader’s wife. 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. As fate reverberates though the generations, the two sisters live on in the pages of this book.

“What a bold and expansive debut! Engaging, compassionate, and epic… these are but a few words to describe this historical fiction that has no equal. Such broad scope, such searing honesty, and such important issues being raised in this timeless story. Highly recommended.”
