Homegoing es una novela conmovedora que narra la historia de dos hermanas, Effia y Esi, con destinos muy diferentes. Una es vendida como esclava, mientras que la otra se casa con un comerciante de esclavos. Las consecuencias de sus destinos se propagan a través de las generaciones, llevándonos desde la Costa de Oro de África hasta las plantaciones de algodón de Mississippi, y desde las escuelas misioneras de Ghana hasta los bares de Harlem. Abarcando tres continentes y siete generaciones, Yaa Gyasi ha escrito una novela milagrosa que relata la historia íntima y apasionante de un elenco de personajes vívidos y, a través de sus vidas, la historia misma de Estados Unidos. Una obra épica e íntima de una escritora magistral.
