Homegoing

Two continents. Two sisters divided by an ocean. One inheritance of fire and chains. A family bound by an unbreakable history.

From the ashes of the Gold Coast in 18th-century Ghana to the streets of contemporary America, Homegoing follows two half-sisters whose fates are set on divergent, yet forever entangled, paths. Effia is married off to a British colonizer, her lineage rooted in privilege and complicity. Esi is sold into slavery, her descendants bearing the brutal legacy of captivity across oceans. Across centuries, their bloodlines speak, fracture, and echo through time.

Gyasi writes with searing clarity and haunting beauty, weaving a tapestry that reveals how history’s violence lives within families, shaping love, opportunity, and sorrow. Each chapter passes the torch to a new generation, a chorus of voices carrying the weight of inherited trauma and unbroken resilience.

At once intimate and epic, Homegoing is a story of memory and survival, of chains both visible and invisible. It reminds us that history is never past—it lives in our bodies, our silences, and our dreams.
