Buch-Cover Home Going von Yaa Gyasi. Zu sehen sind zwei Schwestern, die sich anschauen, aber sich nicht kennen. Ihre Stammbäume ranken nach oben.

Ja. Aktuell lese ich #Homegoing von #YaaGyasi. Das wurde empfohlen, als wir uns im #buchclub mit James beschäftigten. Von dir? Es ist sehr gut. Ab morgen dann parallel. Und dann versuche ich noch, mit den Gesängen von Dante klarzukommen...

A picture of Yaa Gyasi's book "Homecoming." The book is orange-colored with a picture of two young Black women framed by ocean waves. The book is on a light blue coverlet.

I highly recommend this book by the author #yaagyasi #homecoming

A moving and evocative tale of two sisters and the fate of the generations that followed. An unveiling of the worst of humanity and of the unbreakable spirit of those who endured. A magical weaving of the heartbreaking and the inspirational that captivated me and educated me.

Got to attend a lovely event at Politics and Prose Union-Market for
BLUE FUTURES, BREAK OPEN by Zoë Gadegbeku. She spoke so beautifully about her craft, it's no surprise her prose is stunning.

Fans of #riverssolomon and #yaagyasi may want to check her out.

"We believe the one who has the power. He is the one who gets to write the story. So when you study history, you must always ask yourself, Whose story am I missing? Whose voice was suppressed so that this voice could come forth?"
#Homegoing #YaaGyasi

"There should be no room in your life for regret. If in the moment of doing you felt clarity, you felt certainty, then why feel regret later?" #Homegoing #YaaGyasi

"The need to call this thing 'good' and this thing 'bad,' this thing 'white' and this thing 'black,' was an impulse that Effia did not understand. In her village, everything was everything. Everything bore the weight of everything else." #Homegoing #YaaGyasi
