Literary Ladies: February Book of the Month

For this month's book club, Literary Ladies is excited to share we'll be reading Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi

in celebration of Black History Month. This book club is open to everyone at GumGum!One of Oprah’s Best Books of the Year and a PEN/Hemingway award winner, Homegoing follows the parallel paths of these sisters and their descendants through eight generations: from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi, from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem. Yaa Gyasi’s extraordinary novel illuminates slavery’s troubled legacy both for those who were taken and those who stayed—and shows how the memory of captivity has been inscribed on the soul of our nation.

New to GumGum or just an avid reader looking for more recommendations?!
