Homegoing

(i had a fever today so i could read and absorb info, but writing... eh rip)

the fact that this book isn't longer makes me sad because i am so hooked on yaa gyasi's storytelling abilities y'all

even more moving were the themes that we see that get passed down and evolve with every generation and how strong the trauma is towards the younger generations. while i adored each vignette of life, the last few were really beautiful and drove home so much that was brought up throughout the book

i'm so glad i also picked up a copy of transcendent kingdom as i can't wait to read more of yaa gyasi's writing!!!
