"Homegoing" by Yaa Gyasi is a compelling novel that traces the intertwined fates of two half-sisters and their descendants across three centuries. Effia and Esi are born into different villages in 18th-century Ghana; one marries a British colonizer, while the other is sold into slavery and shipped to America. The book follows their lineage, revealing how the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism, and systemic racism shape their families' lives over generations. Each chapter introduces a new descendant, weaving a rich tapestry of experiences that span continents and historical periods. Gyasi's evocative storytelling captures the enduring impact of history on identity, family, and culture.
