Homegoing is a generational story that starts in Ghana during British colonisation in the 1700s. From there we follow the children, and their children and so on of two sisters who end up having very different lives - one married to a British officer, another sold into slavery and transported to America. 

I really enjoyed my reading of this book, and the writing in it was very beautiful at at times, really powerful. This story shows how simple luck can often determine how your life ends up, and even the lives of your children and your descendants. There's times when parts of this book are extremely distressing and uncomfortable to read because of how some of the characters are being treated, and the type of lives they are forced to live. It's very sad but this book has a way of making sure you fall in love with each character, no matter how short a time you end up with them. They are all fierce and amazing in their own ways.

I just really enjoyed how this book was put together and the style of each story. It deserves all the praise it gets, and it’s truly beautiful.
