"We believe the one who has the power. He's the one who gets to write the story. So when you study history, you must always ask yourself, 'Whose story am I missing? Whose voice was suppressed so that this voice could come forth?' Once you have figured that out, you must find that story too. From there, you begin to get a clearer, yet still imperfect picture."

My very smart friend Jessica Skoglund got me to read this book when she described it as being about generational trauma.
And she nailed it. It's a beautifully written depiction of the human implications of slavery through hundreds of years.

The first chapter of Homegoing is about Effia Otcher. She was born in the midst of devastating fire that destroyed her family's yam crop. Her father said, "We will never speak again of what happened today" to her mother because he was so upset (Gyasi 3). The fire was so horrible that villagers even looked at Effia like she was cursed simply because she was born as the fire ravaged the area.

This book is beautiful in the way that And The Mountains Echoed was beautiful.
