Loved this book and it's obviously highly recommended for good reason. I wanted more of some ancestors stories but that's personal. The ending had potential, i loved how it came full circle but the ending itself was a little too vague for my tastes. I'm not sure of what it left me with. Not a fan of vague endings. But overall a powerful read about how the evils of the slave trade poisoned family lines and touches on the impact of generational drama. Also loved seeing perspective of slavery from African side.
