About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi, narrated by Dominic Hoffman.

Effia and Esi: two sisters with two very different destinies. One sold into slavery, one a slave trader's wife. The consequences of their fate reverberate through the generations that follow.

Taking us from the Gold Coast of Africa to the cotton-picking plantations of Mississippi, from the missionary schools of Ghana to the dive bars of Harlem, spanning three continents and seven generations, Yaa Gyasi has written a miraculous novel - the intimate, gripping story of a brilliantly vivid cast of characters and, through their lives, the very story of America itself. Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portraits, Homegoing is a searing and profound debut from a masterly new writer.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our desktop site.

It's a book you'll fall in love with

What can a 300 page book possibly do? Well, read this one to find out! It will make you fall in love with life. It will make you appreciate, acknowledge and respect your origin. The book is a masterpiece, makes you travel in time, let's you in to minds of people who lived along the timeline, paints the culture landscape, and brings out the humanness of characters. Loved the journey!

This is Everything

A complex story of Africa, slavery and immigration going through multiple generations of the fire woman Mame through her two daughters. This book was quite a revelation.
