Gyasi balances the multiple themes of this emotional story deftly. It's a satisfying read and it's very well written. A great example of modern literature that feels both like literature and modern. Gyasi doesn't prescribe how you should feel about the sometimes conflicting themes and feelings her main character goes through, she simply tells a story about those things. Great book.
