thing i say here will even begin to describe how incredible this story is. illustrating the lasting impacts of the transatlantic slave trade, this is honestly a tough read at times. the way gyasi managed to weave together an epic of several generations into 300 pages….? amazing. and the final chapter wraps all of it up so beautifully. just WOW.
