Homegoing By: Yaa Gyasi

On the surface this is a tale of two half-sisters (unbeknownst to each other) on the Gold Coast of Africa the follows the two branches of their descendants down through the centuries to present day. Barely underneath the surface is the entire history of colonization and slavery and all that they lead too, throughout the centuries. At times a very uncomfortable and rage-inducing book to read, but this is an extraordinary writing achievement!
