Transcendent Kingdom
By Yaa Gyasi (Sept. 1)
Yaa Gyasi’s debut novel, Homegoing, became a critically acclaimed national bestseller; her sophomore book, Transcendent Kingdom, about a Ghanaian family living in Alabama, is well-poised to do the same. “At once a vivid evocation of the immigrant experience and a sharp delineation of an individual’s inner struggle, the novel brilliantly succeeds on both counts,” praises Publishers Weekly.
