My only complaint is that I could have read 1000 pages of this book, not just 300. I loved every page of it but I wanted more about each character, especially my favorites. This was a total page-turner and I devoured it.
It was an intriguing read for me. So much sadness that led me to putting the book aside for some time. I was overjoyed for the hope and happy ending that I found towards the end of the book. I love how each character is strong tho and it’s such a reminder that we should withstand and face our journey head on. Well done yaa
I read this book and would recommend it to everyone. I cried throughout and was also angry. At the end I felt lost and had more questions about my home and family tree.
I finished this book and loved it so much. I’ve been searching for a discussion about it because it touched on so much! I love that he brought up Willie’s story. Her story really stuck with me and still hurts me even if it’s just fiction. Gosh love this book so much! Thanks for this discussion
Best book I've read this year! Have recommended it to so many friends.
That’s a really good one sentence summary of the boo. Thanks Timi
Broken glass by Alain mabanckou.
I thought homegoing was deserving of it praise. I especially like the fact that she showed that the tribes fought wars to capture slaves and the white man didn't just come with his gun and net and drag black people into the boat..
Favorite character, H.
It doesn't invalidate the brutality the cruelty and horror that was the transatlantic slave trade...
@@maryseo. yeah you are right.but at least this book shows our complicity in the whole process. That part is always understated.
Hi Princess, I enjoyed this review. I am 🇿🇼 but felt very connected and heartbroken and at the same time inspired by the many characters struggles. Amazing book and necessary reading for all to understand the complexities of Ghanaian and American history.
I read the book and I liked it. I loved learning about the castles and history.

I read this book as an English literature undergrad at UCF in my African American Literature course.
This is a book I'm currently reading. It's quite interesting.
