What Members Thought
Homegoing is a sweeping tale of two family branches coming out of 18th century Ghana and stretching all the way to contemporary America. Steeped in African lore and historical detail, it slowly introduces the reader to each and every member of the family as they experience Ghanian wars, slavery, Civil War, and the roaring 20's. I loved watching the story progress through generations and finally coming together at the shores of Cape Coast. I also listened to parts of the audiobook, and thought th

I wasn't sure how well the author could pull off a story that spans a couple centuries in a book this length, but she does it beautifully. I really enjoyed this read - one of my favorites I have read this year.

If you were Black in America or you should read this book. If you are white in America you should read this book. If you are in America you should read this book!
This is one of the most gripping yet heartbreaking infuriating, disappointing, eye-opening books I've ever read.

Homegoing follows a family line that splits in two. One side is sold in slavery to America. The other stays in Africa.
