Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi

5.0

A brilliant premise for a book—a woman navigating through the grief over losing her brother to addiction and dealing with her mother’s depression and trying to find “answers” through her work. Her entire career is consumed by that grief and it’s so smartly written. I found myself identifying so much with Gifty. What I loved most about this book is that it’s so unassuming. It hits in surprising ways. Highly recommend!
