I cannot stop talking about this book! It is a beautifully written epic family story that uses seven generations of a family to show the far reaching impact of the slave trade. This book is impossible to forget and should be required reading in America. ~ Hannah Beth

\"This gorgeous debut reads like a novel in stories. The prose is beautiful, but just as impressive is how well you get to know each generation of characters in so few pages. Gyasi has given us the next great novel of the African diaspora.\"

Homegoing is an epic narrative that is sure to become a treasured staple. Two sisters in Ghana are marked by fiery tragedy: one is married off to an English slave trader, and the other is sold to be a slave in America. The story follows their descendants generation by generation. Homegoing will break your heart over and over, impress you with the resilience of the human spirit and the amazing power of forgiveness, and leave you optimistic and in awe
