Homegoing

The audiobook Homegoing benefits from being read aloud by two different narrators, one for each main character. This allows listeners to easily follow along with the story and experience the characters’ emotional journeys.

The Homegoing is a novel written by Yaa Gyasi. It tells the story of two half-sisters, Effia and Esi, who are born into different villages in Ghana and experience vastly different lives. Effia is married off to an Englishman and lives in comfort in Cape Coast Castle, while Esi is sold into slavery and endures a life of hardship in America. The novel follows the sisters and their descendants through eight generations, as they grapple with the legacy of their shared history.
