Powerful. . . . Gyasi has delivered something unbelievably tough to pull off: a centuries-spanning epic of interlinked short stories. . . . She has a poet's ability to pain a scene with a handful of phrases. -The Christian Science Monitor
Thanks to Ms. Gyasi's instinctive storytelling gifts, the book leaves the reader with a visceral understanding of both the savage realities of slavery and the emotional damage that is handed down, over the centuries. . . . By its conclusion, the characters' tales of loss and resilience have acquired an inexorable and cumulative emotional weight. -The New York Times
[Toni Morrison's] influence is palpable in Gyasi's historicity and lyricism; she shares Morrison's uncanny ability to crystalize, in a single event, slavery's moral and emotional fallout. . . . No novel has better illustrated the way in which racism became institutionalized in this country. -Vogue

Moving. . . . Compelling. . . . Gyasi is an enormously talented writer. -The Dallas Morning News
I cannot remember the last time I read a novel that made me want to use the adjective perfect. . . . Yaa Gyasi's Homegoing is a feat rarely achieved: a book with the scope of world history and the craft of something much smaller. . . . The cumulative effect is staggering. -Molly McArdle, Brooklyn Magazine
Carrying on in the tradition of her foremothers-like Toni Morrison, Edwidge Danticat, Assia Djebar and Bessie Head-Gyasi has created a marvelous work of fiction that both embraces and re-writes history. -Paste
