Seattle Reads is a "one book, one city" program, where people are encouraged to read and discuss the same book. It's designed to deepen engagement in literature through reading and discussion. This year’s feature work is Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi (Vintage, 2017).
Debut novelist Yaa Gyasi is the author of 'Homegoing.' A riveting, kaleidoscopic novel, Homegoing is a story of race, history, ancestry, love, and time that traces the descendants of two sisters torn apart in eighteenth-century Africa across three hundred years in Ghana and America.
