À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A TODAY SHOW #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK! • Finalist for the WOMEN'S PRIZE

Yaa Gyasi's stunning follow-up to her acclaimed national best seller Homegoing is a powerful, raw, intimate, deeply layered novel about a Ghanaian family in Alabama.

Gifty is a sixth-year PhD candidate in neuroscience at the Stanford University School of Medicine studying reward-seeking behavior in mice and the neural circuits of depression and addiction. Her brother, Nana, was a gifted high school athlete who died of a heroin overdose after an ankle injury left him hooked on OxyContin. Her suicidal mother is living in her bed. Gifty is determined to discover the scientific basis for the suffering she sees all around her. But even as she turns to the hard sciences to unlock the mystery of her family's loss, she finds herself hungering for her childhood faith and grappling with the evangelical church in which she was raised, whose promise of salvation remains as tantalizing as it is elusive.

Transcendent Kingdom is a deeply moving portrait of a family of Ghanaian immigrants ravaged by depression and addiction and grief—a novel about faith, science, religion, love. Exquisitely written, emotionally searing, this is an exceptionally powerful follow-up to Gyasi's phenomenal debut. Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Fiction Redevances

This is a hard book to engage in that it is intense, visceral and easy to relate to for many, but it's a profound and much worth it journey. Beautifully written and wonderfully narrated and absolutely soul wrenching.

Heavy but masterful

Found the premise of science x religion interesting but the story itself was a bit dry. The way the story was read by the narrator sounded insincere. I loved the way she used accents to emphasize some characters though. Bravo on that. Otherwise, I couldn’t wait to it to be over.

It was ok
