This book is so beautifully written, you could turn to any page in it and will find the most gut-wrenching and heart-striking quotes adorning the pages.
The discourse around race, class, science v religion, identity, motherhood, and so many more - every single one of them were gorgeously woven into the narrative. The switching from past and present felt natural and didn't affect the flow of my reading. Yaa Gyasi is such an amazing writer, truly wow.
