Land of Enchantment | Leigh Stein

#augustfaves

Yaa Gyasi is an extraordinary writer, and Homegoing one of the most ambitious AND successful novels I've ever read, spanning a couple centuries and 9 generations. 100% worth the hype!

Land of Enchantment is a beautifully written (and flawlessly structured) memoir dealing with mental illness, relationship violence, and loss. Memoirs aren't often page-turners for me, but this one had me gripped from the beginning.

Homegoing: A novel | Yaa Gyasi

I read Homegoing first and almost in one sitting. Such beautiful writing. I have several quotes and short reviews of each on my profile feed. If you haven't picked these up yet, do. Though the subject matter is difficult, the stories and characters are realized so skillfully, the very markings of a great novel. #augustfaves #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge @RealLifeReading
