Selected for Granta's Best of Young American Novelists 2017 Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Best First Book Shortlisted for the PEN/Robert W. One sold into slavery; one a slave trader's wife. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction Effia and Esi: two sisters with two very different destinies.
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. The consequences of their fate reverberate through the generations that follow. Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portraits, Homegoing is a searing and profound debut from a masterly new writer.
