A book that makes me sad πŸ“š Homegoing πŸ‘ Yaa Gyasi πŸ’œ The framework of this novel is very special. It features 14 characters and tells the story of two branches of eight generations. The settings of each person in the two branches are different, telling the fate of people of the same bloodline in different times and places. In the end, the characters of the two branches meet and search for their roots together. πŸ€” People's thoughts on "roots" and their desire to "search for roots" can be seen everywhere in the story. Listening to the stories of the past told by the older generation, or even touching the objects left by the elders, is also a connection with the "roots". Whether or not you have set foot on the land of your hometown, you will have a strong feeling for your hometown.

wow, "homegoing" really hits hard, doesn't it? the way yaa gyasi weaves the stories of each generation is just something else. it's like you can feel the weight of history and the longing for connection through every page. i felt a mix of sadness and hope reading it, it's such a powerful reminder of where we come from and how it shapes us. anyone else felt this way?
