description Homegoing Overview

Yaa Gyasis debut novel is a breathtaking generational saga that begins with two half-sisters in 18th-century Ghana. One marries a British slaver, while the other is sold into slavery in America. The book follows their descendants through eight generations, alternating between Ghana and the United States. Gyasi captures the legacy of colonialism and slavery with incredible scope and intimacy.

Each chapter functions as a standalone story, yet they weave together to form a powerful tapestry of history and identity. It is an ambitious, deeply moving work that is essential for understanding the African diaspora.
