📘 Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi
A Powerful Novel of Science, Faith & Family
Â
From the bestselling author of Homegoing comes a deeply moving portrait of a Ghanaian-American family, grief, addiction, and the search for belonging.
Â
Transcendent Kingdom follows Gifty, a brilliant neuroscience PhD student at Stanford, as she studies reward-seeking behavior in mice—desperately hoping to unlock the mysteries behind her brother’s overdose and her mother’s depression. Caught between the rigor of science and the pull of her childhood evangelical faith, Gifty’s story is a quiet, powerful meditation on mental illness, spirituality, identity, and the immigrant experience.
Â
Yaa Gyasi’s lyrical writing, unflinching honesty, and emotional depth make this a must-read for fans of literary fiction, intergenerational storytelling, and heartfelt introspection.
