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. Taking us from the Gold Coast of Africa to the cotton-picking plantations of Mississippi; from the missionary schools of Ghana to the dive bars of Harlem, spanning three continents and seven generations, Yaa Gyasi has written a miraculous novel - the intimate, gripping story of a brilliantly vivid cast of characters and through their lives the very story of America itself.
Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portraits, Homegoing is a searing and profound debut from a masterly new writer.
Notre coup de coeur
This novel tells the story of two half-sisters Effia and Esi in 18th century Ghana. Effia wed a british officer and lives with him in the upper floor of the Cape Coast fort. Esie is among the slaves in the dungeons. The novel spans 250 years of history and 7 generations. We follow the descendants of each sister either in Ghana or in America. This novel forwards the heritage of slavery in Africa and America but also the loss of track of origins.
We definitely recommend this novel !
