In one of the most audacious literary debuts in recent memory, a
first-time novelist—Ghana born, Alabama raised—constructs a wide-ranging
narrative tackling nothing less than the legacy of the African slave
trade through seven generations of one family, from 18th-century Gold
Coast Africa to present-day California. An epic work by a rising star.
