Home going by Yaa Gyasi

Home going is a powerful historical novel that plunges us into the story of two half-sisters and, through them, three hundred years in Ghana.

It begins with an Asante woman named Maame, in the 18th Century and her two daughters, who are half-sisters. They will be separate by circumstances: Effia marries James Collins, the British governor in charge of Cape Coast Castle, while her half-sister Esi is held captive in the dungeons below. Her children and grandchildren will be raised in slavery. Generation after generation, Yaa Gyasi's magisterial first novel sets the fate of the individual against the obliterating movements of time.

the novel is available in Luxembourg libraries. You only need that you can get there, it’s free: https://www.a-z.lu/discovery/search?vid=352LUX_BIBNET_NETWORK:BIBNET_UNION
