These are my personal favourite novels written by Black authors spanning across the diaspora, and over a range of genres and styles!
The way Gyasi captures intergenerational trauma is so striking - this is a must-read for sure!
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
A heart-wrenching, well crafted story that sheds light on the racial politics of today in a very unique manner
Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman
A gothic novel themed on slavery following a mother and her deceased daughter. The way Morrison weaves her narrative together keeps you on the edge of your seat and isn't afraid of tackling the more gritty parts of our shared history of slavery.
