Monthly Book Club - Homegoing

Details

This month our genre is historical fiction and we will be reading Homegoing - the debut novel by Ghanaian-American author Yas Gyasi.

Effia and Esi: two sisters with two very different destinies. One sold into slavery; one a slave trader's wife. The consequences of their fate reverberate through the generations that follow. Taking us from the Gold Coast of Africa to the cotton-picking plantations of Mississippi; from the missionary schools of Ghana to the dive bars of Harlem, spanning three continents and seven generations.

To keep the club free you are responsible for sourcing your own copy of the book. It should be available via the kindle store and as an audiobook. If you are purchasing the book please do check out uk.bookshop.org - an online bookshop that supports local, independent bookshops.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
