The unforgettable new york times best seller begins with the story of two half-sisters, separated by forces beyond their control: one sold into slavery, the other married to a british slaver. written with tremendous sweep and power, homegoing traces the generations of family who follow, as their destinies lead them through two continents and three hundred years of history, each life indeliably drawn, as the legacy of slavery is fully revealed in light of the present day.
effia and esi are born into different villages in eighteenth-century ghana. effia is married off to an englishman and lives in comfort in the palatial rooms of cape coast castle. unbeknownst to effia, her sister, esi, is imprisoned beneath her in the castle's dungeons, sold with thousands of others into the gold coast's booming slave trade, and shipped off to america, where her children and grandchildren will be raised in slavery. one thread of homegoing follows effia's descendants through centuries of warfare in ghan
