Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
A powerful, heart-wrenching novel that explores race, ancestry, love, and the impact of history. The story follows two half-sisters whose lives are torn apart in 18th-century Africa and the generations that follow. Spanning over 300 years, the novel touches on the experiences of their descendants in both Africa and America, covering themes of slavery, survival, and human connection. I could not put this book down. The writing is exceptional, pulling readers through the struggles and tragedies of the characters but sometimes the rapid passage of time left me wanting more in certain stories. A debut novel from a young woman that will leave you reflecting on the power of family and history long after you finish. - Emma More Historical Fiction Staff Picks | | Community Assists Day, featuring YMCA Employment Services Wednesday, March 19 from 2-4pm
