September title:
Homegoing
by Yaa Gyasi
Born in eighteenth-century Africa, two half sisters are sent down completely different paths. One sister is married to an Englishman, while the other is sold into slavery. These disparate experiences will lay the foundation for those of each successive generation. Spanning three hundred years in Ghana and America, this novel follows eight generations as they adapt to an ever-evolving landscape rife with racism and hardship.
**Winner of the 2017 PEN/Hemingway Award and the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Award, named a notable book of the year by The New York Times and The Washington Post**
Copies available by the Circulation Desk starting August 11.
