Welcome to Litsy!

Highly recommend this one. The first half is difficult but if you can push through it‘s so worth the read.

My #bookstack for #24in48! Starting with #homegoing.

Best #bookmailday to date. I have literally been waiting for this beautiful woman to write another beautiful book since I finished #homegoing. That book wrecked me in the best way possible.

Book6 of 2020 via audible. #Homegoing ; Impressive that it‘s a debut novel! Very well written and very well researched! A full circle novel spanning across centuries, yet each chapter connected to the last. It‘s “a portrait of the origins of slave trade and it‘s reverberations” stemming from Ghana.

Yaa Gyasi's "Homegoing" has easily earned it's place in my list of favourites. A brutal, honest look at the slave trade and its legacy, the story explores the families of two half sisters with very different destinies. I fell in love with each of the characters and couldn't wait to pick it up again. Needless to say, it's 5 stars from me.

Thanks to Mother‘s Day shopping on the buy 2 get 3 table at B&N I finally own this book I‘ve been meaning to read for a while now!

Yes, I know I‘m late to the party! #homegoing #yaagyasi #fiction 4.5/5📖

#Homegoing by #YaaGyasi was one of the most beautiful books i've ever read. The way historical racism plays a part in each characters lives helps me understand historical trauma in a way I think will change my life and give me a better understanding of racism going forward. Also, reading this was made better with my handmade bookmark given to me by a friend from Colorado, bought from a store that employs women fleeing domestic violence.

YES. 🙌🙌🙌

I had to show this quote to my two half-sisters when I read it. Two siblings that I only met for the first time last year!

We had our own “pond” of separation to surmount. #homegoing #currentread
