Gyasi has firmly put to bed any fears that her first novel
was somehow an aberration. In this novel, she tackles substantial issues such
as the black immigrant experience and perceptions of the black male body, while
also confronting the question of generational trauma and grief with a deftness
that belies her deep thinking on these subjects.

What I think is so truly spectacular about this book is the
way that Gyasi chooses to present them. There is something truly unique about
her use of language that does not hammer these heavy subjects down, but rather
makes the reader feel as if someone is whispering a hidden truth to them. And
just like most hidden truths, it sometimes feels as if these things have been
in front of you all along, yet somehow they may have escaped your conscious
notice. But they are now being revealed to you, and your subconscious is awake
in a way that perhaps it was not before.
