Ghana, eighteenth century: two half sisters are born into totally different villages, every unaware of the opposite. One will marry an Englishman and lead a lifetime of consolation within the palatial rooms of the Cape Coast Castle. The different shall be captured in a raid on her village, imprisoned in the exact same fort, and bought into slavery.
Homegoing follows the parallel paths of those sisters and their descendants by way of 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 each for many who have been taken and people who stayed—and exhibits how the reminiscence of captivity has been inscribed on the soul of our nation.Homegoing
