Book Club – Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
Led by Marcy Manas and Liz Morley
16:00 Tuesday 24 March – Zoom Only
Our Book Talk meets once a month. Books are available to borrow from the Gura Family Memorial Library.
Our March choice is a historical fiction, Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. This is a novel of breathtaking sweep and emotional power that traces three hundred years in Ghana and along the way also becomes a truly great American novel. Two half-sisters, Effia and Esi, are born in 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.
