About HOMEGOING
Ghana, eighteenth century: two half sisters are born into different villages, each unaware of the other. One will marry an Englishman and lead a life of comfort in the palatial rooms of the Cape Coast Castle. The other will be captured in a raid on her village, imprisoned in the very same castle, and sold into slavery.
Homegoing follows the parallel paths of these sisters and their descendants through eight generations: from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi, from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem. Yaa Gyasi’s extraordinary novel illuminates slavery’s troubled legacy both for those who were taken and those who stayed-and shows how the memory of captivity has been inscribed on the soul of our nation.

A soul changing, amazing book. Homegoing should be a must-read for everyone.
I just finished this book and was browsing around for some reviews. I utterly adored it and wish it could have gone on for 1000 pages. Truly an amazing book.
Just finished her book Homecoming. So moving and it's absolutely astonishing that it was her first book. What a talented author!
Such an awesome book. My wife is Ghanaian, and her name is Yaa also and former last name was Asante!
I'm a member of a literacy group out of Detroit. We selected Homegoing as our next book to read. I have scheduled a "homegoing" in October to Senegal & Ghana so super excited to explore your voice. :)
I loved Homegoing. So moving
