Selected for Granta's Best of Young American Novelists 2017 Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Best First Book Shortlisted for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction Effia and Esi: two sisters with two very different destinies. One sold into slavery; one a slave trader's wife. The consequences of their fate reverberate through the generations that follow. Taking us from the Gold Coast of Africa to the cotton-picking plantations of Mississippi; from the missionary schools of Ghana to the dive bars of Harlem, spanning three continents and seven generations, Yaa Gyasi has written a miraculous novel - the intimate, gripping story of a brilliantly vivid cast of characters and through their lives the very story of America itself. Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portraits, Homegoing is a searing and profound debut from a masterly new writer.

Recenze
2017 Vítěz ceny National Book Crit Circle Award za nejlepší první knihu zařazenou do užšího výběru.
Dvě sestry se dvěma velmi odlišnými osudy. Jedna je prodána do otroctví; jedna se stane manželkou obchodníka s otroky.
Důsledky jejich osudu se objevují po generace.
Homegoing je hlubokým debutem mistrovsky psaného nového spisovatele. Jedná se o knihu ve které je jeden příběh v němž jsou dva.
