There are four pillars on which the story stands and that is Beauty, Love, Strength and Slavery and a tale surrounding these couldn't have been better weaved than Homegoing. 

When you reach the 300th page a strange feeling will overcome you. The story which began with two sisters living away from each other, not knowing about each other's existence, leading lives which were poles apart to say the least, have their progeny meet generations later without the knowledge of their linkage, gnawed at my heart.The only person who could reveal it to them was long dead. The difference between the sisters who were separated right from the time of their birth, and the young boy and girl who come to know each other in America, was that one pair was born in the jungles of Africa, with no education and the possibility of having their freedom snatched away anytime licking at their heels, and the other pair were graduates performing research in a country that their ancestors would have shunned. The stark contrast between the two is that the sisters, wherever they were, belonged to a clan, a family; they weren't deserted, whereas the younger pair have no idea of what relations they hold except for their parents of course, and a grandmother perhaps. Also the sisters belonged to the land they were born in, their land sung in their blood, on the other hand these two youngsters were trying to find acceptance and build an identity in a world that they longed to be a part of. But most importantly, the most amazing bit is that the same land which was home to a tribe has its progeny come back as tourists. This just reiterates the fact that life does go around in circles.
