The book is unputdownable. However, a lot remains unresolved at the end, despite the gradual unfolding and character development.

The book is well written and captures vivid details of life during the trans-Atlantic slave trade, slavery in the US, colonialism in Ghana and related aspects. A series of events, most of them nerve-wracking, lead to the reunion of a family that had been split up. The journey through each of the character's life sheds a clear picture on outstanding historical developments such as Jim Crow laws and the civil rights movement, and the introduction of Christianity in Ghana, among others. It is unputdownable. I highly recommend it.
