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

These are the books I've read so far in lockdown (although technically two if them I had already started). I would recommend all of them although I consider to struggle with Baldwin's writing. I find his work really impactful but it takes me so long to read. #noraephron #jamesbaldwin #ottessamoshfegh #harukimurakami #chimamandangoziadichie #yaagyasi
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.
I am reading this for an upcoming event at Hartford Public Library. #homegoing #yaagyasi
