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.

What he wanted to capture was the feeling of time, of having been a part of something that stretched so far back, was so impossibly large, that it was easy to forget that she, and he, and everyone else, existed in it—not apart from it, but inside of it. #Homegoing #YaaGyasi

Loneliness, maybe. Or aloneness. The way I don’t fit here or there. #Homegoing #YaaGyasi

For her, prayer was a frenzied chant, a language for those desires of the heart that even the mind did not recognize were there. #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

Weakness is treating someone as though they belong to you. Strength is knowing that everyone belongs to themselves. #Homegoing #YaaGyasi

Hell was a place of remembering, each beautiful moment passed through the mind’s eye until it fell to the ground like a rotten mango, perfectly useless, uselessly perfect. #Homegoing #YaaGyasi

Got to attend a lovely event at Politics and Prose Union-Market for

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

There are more than 20 books that have stayed with, or influenced me, so I’m going to keep posting daily.
One book per day, until I can’t think of any more. In no particular order, no explanations or reviews, just covers.

"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?"
