Wow wow wow. I wasn't sure how one book could cover two family branches of 8 generations so concisely and I'm impressed as heck. This book was beautiful and heartbreaking in all the right ways. The author painted amazing scenes in such few words to carry us from 18th century Ghana to the present day (in Ghana and the US). What an amazing feat of a novel.
