Really strong debut, could have been 100 pages longer without losing my interest. I wanted to know more about all of the characters, although Yaa Gyasi does an amazing job at bringing them to life in 20-30 pages each. The chapters that take place in coastal Western Africa were the most interesting to me, as I knew nothing about its history. Will definitely be interested to see where this promising author goes next.
