书籍简介

艾菲和艾西：两个有着两个截然不同命运的姐妹。其中一个卖给奴隶制；一个奴隶贩子的妻子。他们命运的后果在随后的几代人中回荡。带我们从非洲的黄金海岸到密西西比州的棉花采摘种植园；从加纳的宣教学校到跨越三大洲和七代的哈林潜水酒吧，雅亚·迦西（Yaa Gyasi）撰写了一部神奇的小说-生动生动的人物角色的亲密，令人着迷的故事，以及他们一生中美国自身的故事。

《Homegoing》以其史诗般的画布和亲密的肖像而著称，是一位杰出的新作作家的灼人而深刻的首次亮相。

“这本令人难以置信的书从加纳到美国旅行，揭示了奴隶制如何摧毁了如此众多的家庭，传统和生活-以及它的可怕影响现在仍在回荡。贾西（Gyasi）创造了一个真正的力量和洞察力的故事。

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.

'This incredible book travels from Ghana to the US revealing how slavery destroyed so many families, traditions and lives - and how its terrifying impact is still reverberating now. Gyasi has created a story of real power and insight.
