### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A tedious disappointment
  

*by L***I on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020*

I loved Homegoing and was so excited to read this. Wanted to love it, but really don’t. Finding it a tedious slog actually, without particularly compelling characters or storyline. Story could’ve been interesting but maybe because of flat characters against a backdrop of trauma and paralyzing depression, I find I’m not engaged with Gifty or her story. I don’t even know what kind of person Gifty is beyond being 1)devastated by the death of her brother, and 2)burnt out by caring for her mother who suffers from near-paralyzing depression. Gifty is trying to combat the incomprehensibleness of the tragedies she’s experienced with an obsessive dedication to the concrete logic of science. Which might be an understandable response in real life. However it makes for an extremely tedious read. Very dull indeed. The negative themes are not counterbalanced with any positive ones so it’s hard to feel drawn in. It’s hard to care what happens next when the shadow of sorrow and bitterness never retreats. It has been cast over the entirety of what I’ve read so far. About 3/4 through and not particularly interested in finishing...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An extraordinary book.
  

*by C***P on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2020*

Gifty has endured more than her fair share. But what she does with the hard stuff is turn her pain into something concrete. To better understand. She doesn’t want to let the trouble that has been heaped upon her family undo her.Gifty’s family, mother, father, and baby boy, immigrated to the United States from Ghana, landing in Alabama, where she was later born. Her family’s circumstances did not turn out to be what they imagined. Her mother suffered the indignity of racism and working brutal hours at her thankless job, for what she hoped would be a better life, to provide her children with an education.Their beloved son, Nana, whose future was so bright, as everyone kept reminding them, went awry. Gifty, the youngest, knew nothing of her family’s roots, nor did she fit into this foreign southern land. We come to know her for her work as a scientist, working her way through her lab, trying to come to terms with her brother’s tragic demise, through her research with mice, and making sense of the utter loss that has woven its way into her mother’s veins as well. Gifty’s studies keep her alive, but in a sense, the work is also somewhat of an atonement for what she was unable to do for Nana. Perhaps even for her mother.Searching for answers about addictive behavior and depression – through science, a higher calling, or desperately avoiding love. Gifty is at a loss. She is desperately trying. She carries an enormous weight and you can’t help but bear the heaviness alongside her.Psychologically astute, relevant to the world we are in, and a reading experience of the sublime.

    I guess it's onto the next one
  

*by R***7 on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020*

Book binding was poor quality. There was a "read with Jenna" stamp on it that I didn't appreciate on my first edition. Homegoing was one of the best books I've read in a while. This one really fell short of the high hopes I had for it.
