I just finished Homegoing a couple days ago and I’ve gotta say, it was quite a ride. I definitely see why it was on so many Best Of lists. It was a fantastic read. If you like history/culture or novels that span several generations (a la One Hundred Years of Solitude), then you’ll definitely love this book.
