HomegoingHomegoing by Yaa Gyasi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The book gives an insight of colonialism and slavery in Ghana and America, across 250 years while giving the reader such a rich history. (Obviously well researched)
A very interesting book with poignant characters... I felt like the ending was forced. I kept referring back to the family tree every time I got to a new chapter. An incredible book that depicts a rich African culture. It also brought out issues of racism in the immigrant generations.
How each generation comes about is created through heartbreaks, betrayal and most times love so strong between two people that overcomes societal expectations.
A great read!
