Publisher's Summary
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.

Great story – a little long
This is a great story, if not a little too long. I could not finish it, though I’m keen to know how the story ends.
My interest was held until the novel shifts to characters in the USA, after that I had difficulty listening to the telling of man’s inhumanity to man.
The narration is superb – though I did not finish this title, I would certainly recommend it.

Annoying!
This story was all over the place! Confusing and disjointed. Constantly jumping from one story to another.
