'Remarkable, a devastating account of America. 'The range Gyasi displays in just two books is staggering.' - USA Today '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.' - The New Yorker 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.' - Publishers Weekly, starred review 'With deft agility and undeniable artistry, Gyasi's latest is an eloquent examination of resilient survival.' - Booklist I am quite angry this is so good.' - Roxane Gay A gorgeously woven narrative about a woman trying to survive the grief of a brother lost to addiction and a mother trapped in depression while pursuing her ambitions. The splendor and heart and insight and brilliance contained in the pages holds up a light the rest of us can follow.' - Ann Patchett 'I would say that Transcendent Kingdom is a novel for our time (and it is) but it is so much more than that. Yaa Gyasi is one of the most enlightening novelists writing today.' - The Washington Post A double helix of wisdom and rage twists through the quiet lines of this novel.
