Plot or Character Driven:
Character

No

Complicated
This book tore my heart out, mostly because I felt called to myself, the pain I’ve caused others, and the pain others have caused me. For as long as Gyasi is publishing I will be following her work closely. A wonderful second novel to follow Homegoing.
