Be warned, Transcendent Kingdom is a really sad (but thoughtful) novel. It’s a difficult story to describe as it depicts the rawest emotions with such a calm beauty. We’re following a family who immigrated from a small town in Ghana to Alabama and struggles to adjust. Through Gifty’s journaling process (the youngest of the family), we discover a woman trying to survive the grief of a brother lost to addiction and a mother trapped in depression while pursuing her ambitions.
