5.0

another triumph by Gyasi—master of the most beautiful prose. her ability to express the human condition is unmatched. her characters always feel so… real, so alive, like i might pass Gifty one day on the street. i saw myself so clearly in this novel. i found words for feelings i’ve been unable to express. truly a beautiful novel.
