It took me a little bit to get into this once, but once I did, I could not put it down! Gyasi hops from one lineage to another through time and weaves together a story that centers the depth of Black stories. I love the way she was able to perfectly pull the threads together across time, continents, decisions, and beliefs. I really respect that she ties each person's story together without reducing them to a monolith. This is a truly well-written book.
