read for PopSugar 2018 Advanced Challenge: a book recommended by someone else taking the PopSugar challenge

I LOVED this. This is really a collection of vignettes more than one particular story which I feel like the description doesn't make it explicitly clear, but I really liked the style. The book follows two half-sisters and their descendants across America and Ghana over 200 years. There's so much story we don't get, but what we do is incredible. Gyasi gives us little snippets of each descendants, and she did an excellent job of make each story unique in its characters and setting. I loved the variety of relationships portrayed in the story: mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, falling in and out of love. I was so engrossed in this story and just found myself speeding through each part. The ending was also incredibly excellent, and helped to tie the story together so beautifully.

I cannot wait to see what Yaa Gyasi writes next.
