Natalie“You know when you start a book and immediately know it’s going to be 5 stars? I’m only like a third of the way through this multi-generational story but i’ve already cried and felt more moved than I have in a long time. If you enjoy historical fiction I highly recommend this novel.”

Mallorie Stallings“When I say I think about this book at least once a week, five years after I first read it, I am not exaggerating. Incredible story.”
Daniela Sanchez“So happy I got to read this gem during undergrad. The novel’s structure goes into the effects of colonialism & generational trauma in a way that pulls you further into each narrative + Yaa Gyasi’s writing is incredibly rich in detail… can’t say enough good things.”
