Homegoing
Effia and Esi are sisters with two very different destinies. One is sold into slavery while the other becomes the wife of a slave trader. This wonderfully structured novel takes the reader from Africa’s Gold Coast, to the cotton-picking plantations of Mississippi, from the missionary schools of Ghana, and to the dive bars of Harlem. Spanning three continents and seven generations, Yaa Gyasi’s evocative novel has a brilliantly vivid cast of characters whose experiences tell the story of America. As fate reverberates though the generations, the two sisters live on in the pages of this book.
