Product Description
Homegoing is an epic novel that follows the lives of two sisters born into different villages in Ghana during the eighteenth century. One sister marries an Englishman and leads a comfortable life in the luxurious rooms of Cape Coast Castle, while the other is captured in a raid on her village, imprisoned in the same castle, and sold into slavery. The story follows their descendants through eight generations, from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi, from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem.
This captivating novel by Yaa Gyasi has been recognized as one of Oprah's Best Books of the Year and has won several awards, including the National Book Critics Circle's John Leonard Prize and the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Fiction. Homegoing is a powerful exploration of the legacy of slavery in both America and Africa, and how the memory of captivity has shaped the souls of our nation.
With its rich historical detail and compelling characters, Homegoing is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex history of race and identity in America. The book provides a unique perspective on the impact of slavery on generations of families and communities, and how the legacy of this institution continues to shape our world today.
