Homegoing

Updated: 7 Sep 2020
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.

I think about Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing and it’s narrative structure a lot. A beautiful piece of historical fiction that follows the descendants of two half sisters with each chapter jumping ahead a generation to introduce a new character. Intricately plotted and wonderfully written.
