RaveBookTribGyasi is a beautiful writer, and this novel is wonderfully layered. She wrestles with the big questions of life — death, grief, faith, hope, family, home, hate — in a way that is both accessible and complex. This deep look into the mind and heart of a Black immigrant family’s experience in America is rich and thought-provoking ... Gyasi’s exploration of racism is striking in both its subtly and pervasiveness, as well in the underlying tension it creates as events unfold ... Gyasi’s character development, voice and style are those of a gifted writer. It is a pleasure to read the words of a master. Readers of literary, character-driven novels will find Transcendent Kingdom an exquisite, fascinating work.
