'Homegoing is a novel I wish I could have read when I was a young woman' Zadie Smith
Effia and Esi: two sisters with two very different destinies. One sold into slavery; one a slave trader's wife. The consequences of their fate reverberate through the generations that follow: from the Gold Coast of Africa to the plantations of Mississippi; from the missionary schools of Ghana to the dive bars of Harlem. Spanning continents and generations, Yaa Gyasi has written a miraculous novel - an intense, heartbreaking story of one family and through their lives, the story of America itself.
'A wonderfully evocative and compassionate novel. Homegoing is a gift to its readers and a treasure to cherish' Petina Gappah, Financial Times
'Homegoing has something better than perfection, and that is a touch of magic . . . Gyasi is the right artist at the right time' New Statesman
'A beautiful, wise and illuminating novel that doesn't flinch from its difficult subject, but manages to be healing and hopeful' Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Times
