Produktbeschreibung
A Haunting Tale of Legacy, Love, and the Unbreakable Bonds of History. When Alexander Norwood, a tech professional from Rochester, New York, receives an unexpected DNA match, he embarks on a journey that will forever alter his understanding of self, heritage, and belonging. His search leads him from modern-day America to the heart of Igbo land, where the echoes of his ancestor, Afamefuna, stolen and sold into slavery as a boy, still linger. Spanning centuries and continents, He Shall Return is a powerful novel that weaves together the forced migration of the transatlantic slave trade with the voluntary migrations of today, illuminating the enduring scars of displacement and the profound yearning for home. From the slave markets of the Bight of Biafra to the jazz halls of Harlem, from the resilience of Igbo spirituality to the rhythms of the banjo, the novel explores how culture, music, and memory bridge the past and present. Rich in historical depth, and deeply human emotion, He Shall Return is perfect for readers of historical fiction, African heritage narratives, and literary sagas that connect generations. If you love sweeping, evocative tales like Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi, The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates' or Roots by Alex Haley, this novel will stay with you long after the final page. A story of remembrance, reconciliation, and return, because the past is never truly lost.
