Unique way of telling a story. As a genealogy buff, I really loved the way she followed multiple generations down the lines of 2 sisters.

WHOA. I thought I loved "The Underground Railroad," but it doesn't hold a candle to "Homegoing." Wishing I had recommended this book to my book club instead of "Underground Railroad" as I feel that there is so much more to discuss. A beautiful, powerful novel.

I devoured this in less than 24hrs. Incredible. Beautifully written. Beautifully structured. Heart gripping, wrenching, and filling all at the same time. Deeply recommend.

stunning. tried on audio and kindle but in the end physical book was best because approaching it like a series of short stories worked better! really enjoyed.
