Homegoing

Beschreibung

Taking us from the Gold Coast of Africa to the cotton-picking plantations of Mississippi; from the missionary schools of Ghana to the dive bars of Harlem, spanning three continents and seven generations, Yaa Gyasi has written a gripping story of a vivid cast of characters and through their lives the very story of America itself. Epic and intimate, Homegoing is a searing and profound debut!
