Stanford Alum’s Debut Novel gets National Book Critics Recognition

Stanford alum Yaa Gyasi '11 was featured in The Dish, Stanford News, for receiving the National Book Critic Circle's John Leonard Prize for her debut novel Homegoing.

"The unforgettable New York Times best seller begins with the story of two half-sisters, separated by forces beyond their control: one sold into slavery, the other married to a British slaver. Written with tremendous sweep and power, Homegoing traces the generations of family who follow, as their destinies lead them through two continents and three hundred years of history, each life indeliably drawn, as the legacy of slavery is fully revealed in light of the present day." - Penguin Random House
