"Homegoing is an inspiration." --Ta-Nehisi Coates

The unforgettable New York Times best seller begins with the story of two half-sisters, separated by forces beyond their control: one sold into slavery, the other married to a British slaver. Written with tremendous sweep and power, Homegoing traces the generations of family who follow, as their destinies lead them through two continents and three hundred years of history, each life indeliably drawn, as the legacy of slavery is fully revealed in light of the present day.

Effia and Esi are born into different villages in eighteenth-century Ghana. Effia is married off to an Englishman and lives in comfort in the palatial rooms of Cape Coast Castle. Unbeknownst to Effia, her sister, Esi, is imprisoned beneath her in the castle's dungeons, sold with thousands of others into the Gold Coast's booming slave trade, and shipped off to America, where her children and grandchildren will be raised in slavery. One thread of Homegoing follows Effia's descendants through centuries of warfare in Ghana, as the Fante and Asante nations wrestle with the slave trade and British colonization. The other thread follows Esi and her children into America. From the plantations of the South to the Civil War and the Great Migration, from the coal mines of Pratt City, Alabama, to the jazz clubs and dope houses of twentieth-century Harlem, right up through the present day, Homegoing makes history visceral, and captures, with singular and stunning immediacy, how the memory of captivity came to be inscribed in the soul of a nation.

Nice watch at a very good price.
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial-2870
Favorite watch in my collection. I wear it every day, and at the price point, if breaks in six months I will buy another just like it.

Best cheap time piece there is
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Blue Dial-2870
I’ve been a chef for years and having a great watch that keeps time as well as it looks classy is a tough ask when you’re exposing said watch to high heat over the range, extreme lows putting away vendor orders in the walk in fridge or freezer (sometimes up to an hour or 2 at a time), getting popped with hot oil and sauces, and doing dishes when our dishwasher is a no show. I do take this off to make seasoned flour for fried chicken or seafood, but it can easily be kept clean and it keeps time EXTREMELY well. I get several compliments on it from other chefs and even the guests at our restaurants both in downtown Charleston and the resort at Kiawah Island. Just don’t bang the face of the watch into a steel prep table (it will chip or scratch). But it is possible to replace the face at a local jeweler, and at any desired quality or price bracket. I own this watch in several colors and have used them for 2 years now. I’ve been very happy with OLEVS all around.

Affordable, comfortable, and practical watch
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Green Dial-2870, Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Green Dial-2870
This watch is very good for its price range, of course this isn’t a Seiko, but what do you expect for under $50. I’m extremely excited about this watch and just finished removing some links for it to fit. That’s the worst part removing the links which is very difficult even with the tool that was supplied. Now, we’ll see how long the watch will last and hold up after everyday being worn. It’s a good looking and comfortable watch that’s inexpensive.
