Product Information

Winner of the NBCC's John Leonard First Book Prize A New York Times 2016 Notable Book One of Oprah's 10 Favorite Books of 2016 NPR's Debut Novel of the Year One of Buzzfeed's Best Fiction Books Of 2016 One of Time 's Top 10 Novels of 2016 " Homegoing is an inspiration." --Ta-Nehisi Coates The unforgettable New York Times best seller begins with the story of two half-sisters, separated by forces beyond their control: one sold into slavery, the other married to a British slaver. Written with tremendous sweep and power, Homegoing traces the generations of family who follow, as their destinies lead them through two continents and three hundred years of history, each life indeliably drawn, as the legacy of slavery is fully revealed in light of the present day. Effia and Esi are born into different villages in eighteenth-century Ghana. Effia is married off to an Englishman and lives in comfort in the palatial rooms of Cape Coast Castle. Unbeknownst to Effia, her sister, Esi, is imprisoned beneath her in the castle's dungeons, sold with thousands of others into the Gold Coast's booming slave trade, and shipped off to America, where her children and grandchildren will be raised in slavery. One thread of Homegoing follows Effia's descendants through centuries of warfare in Ghana, as the Fante and Asante nations wrestle with the slave trade and British colonization. The other thread follows Esi and her children into America. From the plantations of the South to the Civil War and the Great Migration, from the coal mines of Pratt City, Alabama, to the jazz clubs and dope houses of twentieth-century Harlem, right up through the present day, Homegoing makes history visceral, and captures, with singular and stunning immediacy, how the memory of captivity came to be inscribed in the soul of a nation. Includes a PDF of the Family Tree

Reviews
"Gyasi's characters are so fully realized, so elegantly carved--very often I found myself longing to hear more. Craft is essential given the task Gyasi sets for herself--drawing not just a lineage of two sisters, but two related peoples. Gyasi is deeply concerned with the sin of selling humans on Africans, not Europeans. But she does not scold. She does not excuse. And she does not romanticize. The black Americans she follows are not overly virtuous victims.  Sin comes in all forms, from selling people to abandoning children.  I think I needed to read a book like this to remember what is possible.  I think I needed to remember what happens when you pair a gifted literary mind to an epic task. Homegoing is an inspiration." --Ta-Nehisi Coates, National Book Award winning author of Between the World and Me "Homegoing is a remarkable feat--a novel at once epic and intimate, capturing the moral weight of history as it bears down on individual struggles, hopes, and fears. A tremendous debut."  --Phil Klay, National Book Award winning author of Redeployment, "Gyasi's characters are so fully realized, so elegantly carved--very often I found myself longing to hear more.

A promising debut that's awake to emotional, political, and cultural tensions across time and continents." -- Kirkus Reviews , March 15, 2016 From the Hardcover edition., "Gyasi's characters are so fully realized, so elegantly carved--very often I found myself longing to hear more.

A stunning, unforgettable account of family, history, and racism,  Homegoing  is an ambitious work that lives up to the hype." --Jarry Lee, Buzzfeed From the Hardcover edition., "Gyasi's characters are so fully realized, so elegantly carved--very often I found myself longing to hear more.
