Yaa Gyasi, "Homegoing"
http://www.politics-prose.com/book/97...
Born in Ghana, raised in Alabama, and a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Gyasi draws on her heritage in this remarkable debut novel, which opens in 18th-century Ghana and follows the lives of two half-sisters. Born in neighboring villages and unknown to each other, Effia and Esi live out two distinct historical trajectories. Effia marries an Englishman and lives in a castle. Esi, after imprisonment in the castle’s dungeon, is shipped overseas as a slave. Then come civil wars, post-colonialism, the Great Migration, and the narrative winds its way to 20th-century Harlem.
Gyasi is in conversation with Dolen Perkins-Valdez, author of Wench and Balm.
