This week the friends are digging into Transcendent Kingdom, Yaa Gyasi's stunning follow-up to her debut novel.
Transcendent Kingdom in one sentence:
- Courtney: Beautiful writing of a mostly sad story about navigating through a life touched by addiction, depression and heavy handed religion that feels all too real because it is too real --but still has a happy ending!
- Mary Paige: A book that shows the parallels between Gifty's neuroscience career and her religious upbringing as well as the loss of her loved ones.
- Erica: You can’t intellectualize your trauma, but Gifty will try.
Read along with us! C'mon, it's a book club.
