RavePopSugarIf you read one book that comes out in 2020, please let it be Yaa Gyasi\'s second novel ... Multilayered and beautifully written ... Although reading about opioid addiction can be incredibly hard, writing about it is much harder ... Methodical and highly organized by nature, Gifty\'s character approaches the issues she\'s grappling with head on, which make for an all-encompassing read. Because Gifty doesn\'t loudly project her emotions, it leaves the reader space to fill in the blanks ... Truly a compelling read that you\'ll think about for weeks to come, Transcendent Kingdom illustrates that life is messy, painful, and sometimes, utterly beautiful. Furthermore, Gyasi weaves in so many metaphysical questions throughout the pages, it will have you pondering about the aspects of life we take for granted.
