This is an incredibly important and excellent book. The way Gyasi manages to tell the story of so many characters across such a vast timeline while not losing the ability to let us get to know and understand those characters is really impressive. The book highlights so many aspects of generational trauma and the impact of the slave trade in a very impactful way - really enjoyed this book and would love to read more by Gyasi.
