Description
Ghana, eighteenth century, sets the stage for a powerful and poignant novel. Two half sisters, born into different villages, are unaware of each other's existence. Their lives take vastly different paths, one leading to comfort and the other to slavery and captivity.
The parallel lives of these sisters and their descendants span eight generations, tracing the legacy of slavery from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi, and from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem. Yaa Gyasi's extraordinary novel sheds light on the troubled history of slavery, illuminating its impact on both those who were taken and those who stayed.
