“What I know now, my son: Evil begets evil. It grows. It transmutes, so that sometimes you cannot see that the evil in the world began as the evil in your own home.”
i am not sure what to say about this to adequately describe it. it is a complex and very disturbing but important family saga that follows seven generations as it details British colonialism and slavery in Ghana and how it was reflected in America from the 1760s to present day. this book is so good that i ordered my own copy of it while i was reading since i was borrowing a library copy. it is so powerfully and beautifully written and i think that everyone should read it.
