\nTwo half sisters\, Effi a and Esi\, unknown to each other\, are born into two different tribal vil lages in 18th century Ghana. Effia will be married off to an English colon ial\, and will live in comfort in the sprawling\, palatial rooms of Cape C oast Castle\, raising half-caste children who will be sent abroad to be ed ucated in England before returning to the Gold Coast to serve as \;adm inistrators of the Empire. Her sister\, Esi\, will be imprisoned beneath E ffia in the Castle's women's dungeon\, and then shipped off on a boat boun d for America\, where she will be sold into slavery. Stretching from the t ribal wars of Ghana to slavery and Civil War in America\, from the coal mi nes in the north to the Great Migration to the streets of 20th century Har lem\, Yaa Gyasi has written a modern masterpiece\, a novel that moves thro ugh histories and geographies and--with outstanding economy and force--cap tures the troubled spirit of our own nation.
