A BBC Top 100 Novels that Shaped Our World
'Shows the unmistakeable touch of a gifted writer' New Yorker
'Homegoing is an inspiration' - Ta-Nehisi Coates, National Book Award-winning author of Between the World and Me
'It's impossible not to admire the ambition and scope of Homegoing' New York Times
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.
Homegoing is one hell of a book... I recommend Homegoing without reservation. Definitely a must read for 2016 - Roxane Gay

captivating african history
The novel begins on Africa's Gold Coast in the 18th century with two sisters, Effia and Esi, who follow completely different paths. Esi falls into the hands of slave traders and ends up in America, while Effia marries a slave trader and remains in Africa. Throughout the book, the descendants of the two sisters are followed to the present day. Through changing perspectives, the story beautifully and emotionally depicts how decisions can impact generations. Major themes here include racism, colonialism, and slavery. The book captivates the reader, providing insight into diverse ways of life.
