Gyasi’s writing is powerful, haunting, as she delves into the grief of losing a son, a brother, to the ravaging opoid epidemic. The characters in this novel are fleshed out, and the story is as real as it can be. Gyasi also turns her lens on the intersection of faith and science, and the failures and small wins of Christendom. This novel is an ode to growing up as a Ghanaian immigrant in the very white South of the United States — the loneliness, the racial prejudice, the yearning for home, and the feeling of being caught between cultures. A truly arresting work of fiction.
