Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi is a powerful historical novel tracing the descendants of two half-sisters in 18th-century Ghana, Effia (who marries a British slaver) and Esi (who is imprisoned and sold into slavery), across generations, exploring the enduring legacy of slavery, trauma, identity, and resilience from Ghana to America's plantations and Harlem, spanning continents and centuries. It's a multi-generational epic that connects the African diaspora's past to present-day struggles through vivid characters and profound themes.
