Effia is married off to an Englishman and lives in comfort in the palatial rooms of Cape Coast Castle.
Written with tremendous sweep and power, Homegoing traces the generations of family who follow, as their destinies lead them through two continents and 300 years of history, each life indeliably drawn, as the legacy of slavery is fully revealed in light of the present day.Įffia and Esi are born into different villages in 18th-century Ghana. The unforgettable New York Times best seller begins with the story of two half-sisters, separated by forces beyond their control: one sold into slavery, the other married to a British slaver. “ Homegoing is an inspiration.” (Ta-Nehisi Coates) One of Buzzfeed's Best Fiction Books Of 2016
