"We should begin with the house, the house that made me."
Yaa Gyasi, "Homegoing".
Yaa Gyasi's "Homegoing" is a powerful debut novel that traces the parallel paths of two half-sisters and their descendants, spanning over three hundred years from the Gold Coast of Africa to the plantations of the American South and the Civil War. The novel intricately explores themes of slavery, colonialism, and the lasting impacts of these historical injustices on subsequent generations.
