Homegoing
Two sisters. Two continents. One shattered beginning. This is a sweeping, deeply intimate story of inheritance of trauma, resilience, and the way history lives in the body.
A sweeping, multigenerational epic that begins with two half-sisters in 18th-century Ghana: one sold into slavery, the other married to a British colonizer. They never meet, yet their descendants carry the scars and echoes of that moment across centuries and continents.
From the Gold Coast to the plantations of the American South, from the Harlem Renaissance to contemporary America, Homegoing traces a lineage fractured by history but tied by blood, identity, and resilience. It’s a novel that honors the personal within the political, showing how the past is never truly past.
