______________________________________________

As a child Gifty would ask her parents to tell the story of their journey from Ghana to Alabama, seeking escape in myths of heroism and romance. When her father and brother succumb to the hard reality of immigrant life in the American South, their family of four becomes two - and the life Gifty dreamed of slips away.

Years later, desperate to understand the opioid addiction that destroyed her brother's life, she turns to science for answers. But when her mother comes to stay, Gifty soon learns that the roots of their tangled traumas reach farther than she ever thought. Tracing her family's story through continents and generations will take her deep into the dark heart of modern America.

Transcendent Kingdom is a searing story of love, loss and redemption, and the myriad ways we try to rebuild our lives from the rubble of our collective pasts.

Recenzii

'Yaa's depiction of these illnesses; substance addiction and depression and the family's deep-rooted tangled traumas, is skilful . . .Transcendent Kingdomis a story of love, loss and redemption, and holds a mirror up to one version of the first-generation immigrant experience that will sadly seem familiar to many of us
Transcendent Kingdom isa novel for all times
Absolutely transcendent. Agorgeously wovennarrative . . . not a word or idea out of place.I am quite angry this is so good
Transcendent Kingdomisaquietly magnificent novel-vivid, touching and beautifullywritten, and also unafraid to be, and to remain, really very sad.
Her equally outstanding second novel,Transcendent Kingdom,smaller in scale, is anothergraceful exploration of traumareverberating through a family...introspective and intimate
This novel isan unflinching account of loss, but it is also a moving tribute to the ability of the human spirit to endure such tragedies
Gyasi's novel isa thoughtful analysis of a pressing social problem
Among other things [Transcendent Kingdom] isa sharp reckoning with the tensions between race, science and religion...its scope is pared back, its register intimate -not many writers can switch style like this
A powerful portrayal of love and faith that reminds us how our parents' actions can ripple through generations
[A] mightily enjoyable novel
Perhaps neither science nor religion alone could capture transcendence, but Gyasi has proved, once again, that a novel can
Abook of blazing brilliance. . . Adouble helix of wisdom and rage twists through the quiet lines of this novel. Yaa Gyasi isone of the most enlightening novelists writing today
A compelling look at a woman's struggle to move on from the devastating effects of her family falling apart in front of her eyes
The must-read book of the year so far
Apowerful, wholly unsentimentalnovel about family love, loss, belonging and beliefthat is more focused but just as daring as its predecessor, and to my mind even more successful
Gyasi's second novel,Transcendent Kingdom, is a very different book, and, I think, a better one -contemporary, personal, acutely focused on a single family, and intensely felt
Exquisitely writtenwith a lightness of touch despite its difficult themes;this novel is a triumph
Raw, powerful storytellingthat tackles race, religion, addiction and grief in a thoughtful way
Withdeft agility and undeniable artistry, Gyasi's latest isan eloquent examination of resilient survival
The Ghanaian-American has become a firm literary favour...Transcendent Kingdomis sure to cement her spot further
Meticulous, psychologically complex ... At once a vivid evocation of the immigrant experience and a sharp delineation of an individual's inner struggle, the novel brilliantly succeeds on both counts

Transcendent Kingdomis quiet in the way a wise soul will sit in the corner, clear their throat and when they speak, everyone listens...Transcendent Kingdomis a book always asking this question:how did we get here?
The range Gyasi displays in just two books is staggering
Remarkable, a devastating account of America . . . explores horror without ever losing sight of humanity or hope
A stirringly gifted writer.It's impossible not to admire theambition and scopeofHomegoing
If you want to know why the world is this way, try this book for starters
I need a book like this to remember what is possible
Beautifully written. . . a raw look at the personal destruction caused by the opioid crisis
A poignant story of family love, loss and ambition
Yaa Gyasi's writing is shining even as the tangled traumas of the past come to the surface
'Yaa's depiction of these illnesses; substance addiction and depression and the family's deep-rooted tangled traumas, is skilful . . .Transcendent Kingdomis a story of love, loss and redemption, and holds a mirror up to one version of the first-generation immigrant experience that will sadly seem familiar to many of us
