A review by bookishrona
Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi
4.0
This is a deeply moving psychological fiction, that drove my heart to the edge. What this young woman has experienced and gone through.
The book is deeply rooted in religion and thoughts on religion, how it affects us today.
It is intense, so much so that I often had to put it down and just process what I had read.
I connected to her thought processes around religion, as going to a strict religious school that drilled the Christian values into us so strongly, that when I was in university I too had to contemplate religion and science, religion and me.
The way Yaa Gyasi has woven the themes throughout the book was brilliant. Nothing was out of place everything connected. So beautifully written!
