"Two half sisters, Effia and Esi, unknown to each other, are born into two different
tribal villages in 18th-century Ghana. Effia will be married off to an English colonial,
and will live in comfort in the sprawling, palatial rooms of Cape Coast Castle, raising
half-caste children who will be sent abroad to be educated in England before returning
to the Gold Coast to serve as administrators of the Empire. Her sister, Esi, will
be imprisoned beneath Effia in the Castle's women's dungeon, and then shipped off
on a boat bound for America, where she will be sold into slavery. Stretching from
the tribal wars of Ghana to slavery and Civil War in America, from the coal mines
in the north to the Great Migration to the streets of 20th-century Harlem, Yaa Gyasi's
has written a modern masterpiece, a novel that moves through histories and geographies
and--with outstanding economy and force--captures the troubled spirit of our own nation"
