Yaa Gyasi - Homegoing

Yaa Gyasi joins Shad to discuss her debut novel “Homegoing” which follows two half-sisters — one who is sold into slavery, the other forced to marry a slave trader — and continues into the present day, delving into the lives of their descendants.

q is a magazine show that’s unpredictable in the best sense - proud to be “a wild mix of culture by way of Canada” as described by the New York Times. The Globe & Mail noted the show’s “raging popularity across a variety of platforms -- podcasts, television, websites, satellite radio, terrestrial radio, and occasional live remote broadcasts."

It truly is a great book! I'm looking forward to everything she will contribute to society during her career.

Great book. I learned a lot of new information reading Homegoing. Maybe not for kids but my 13 years old loved it too.

Quey. I shed a tear and a thing stuck to my throat as he dug the ground for the stone to give to her daughter.
