What a generational treasure trove this novel is!
Two half sisters are born in two different villages in Ghana, unaware of each other. One is chosen to marry an Englishman and live at Cape Coast Castle. The other is captured and sold into slavery, being held in the same castle.
We follow these girls and their descendants for eight generations. Some are still in Africa, others are in America.
Really loved the passage through time and all of the repercussions that came with slavery and then the freedom (technically).
