Goodreads Måndag #18

Som vanligt så är det Lauren´s Page Turners som startade Goodreads Måndag.

Handling:

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, Yaa Gyasi has written a miraculous novel – the intimate, gripping story of a brilliantly vivid cast of characters and through their lives the very story of America itself. Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portraits, Homegoing is a searing and profound debut from a masterly new writer.

Varför vill jag läsa denna?

Den här boken känns som att den kommer att vara riktigt bra. Det låter helt klart spännande att få följa hur systrarna får så pass olika liv och hur var man lever i världen kan ge så totalt olika förutsättningar, vilket ger perspektiv på tillvaron.
