ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Homegoing” by Yaa Gyasi follows the parallel lives of two half-sisters, Effia and Esi, and their descendants over three centuries. Effia is married to a British slaver in Ghana, while Esi is captured and sold into slavery in America. The novel explores themes of family, trauma, and identity, illustrating how the legacies of slavery and colonization affect generations. Gyasi's narrative weaves together personal and historical stories, highlighting the resilience of her characters as they confront their intertwined pasts and navigate the complexities of race, heritage, and survival in both Ghana and the United States.
