Transcendent Kingdom

Gyasi is a gorgeous writer. This is not a happy book, and yet it was beautiful and touching and deeply resonant. It's about addiction, and faith, and depression, and the complexities of family, and trying to find answers when you can't even articulate the questions.

I don't even want to write more than this, because it was beautiful in the way it unfolded. Read it.
