Yaa Gyasi
Yaa Gyasi is a multiple award-winning, 30-year-old American-Ghanaian novelist. Her writing is so powerful especially coming from someone so young. It makes you stop mid-page, plop your book on the table and think. Her book, Homegoing is the last book I read from my challenge. It’s an intense story about two sisters in the 18th century, one married to a British soldier and the other sold off as a slave. It’s a heavy read which took me about two weeks to finish. It was worth every minute.
