"Two half sisters, unknown to each other, are born into two different villages in 18th century Ghana. Effia will be married off a colonial, and will live in comfort in Cape Coast Castle raising half caste children who will be sent abroad to be educated in England before returning to serve as administrators of the Empire. Her sister will be imprisoned in the Castle's dungeon, and shipped off on a boat where she will be sold into slavery. Yaa Gyasi's has written a modern masterpiece, a novel that moves through histories and geographies and with force captures the troubled spirit of our own nation"
