Unbreakable bond between sisters from "summary" of Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
The bond between Effia and Esi was unbreakable. Born of the same mother but separated by circumstance, their connection remained strong despite the miles and years that lay between them. Effia, the beauty, married to a British slaver, lived a life of comfort and privilege in the Cape Coast Castle. Esi, the fighter, captured and sold into slavery, endured unspeakable hardships in the dungeons below. Effia's heart ached for her sister, even though she did not know where she was or what she suffered. Esi, in her darkest moments, found solace in the knowledge that Effia was out there somewhere, living a life that she could only dream of. Their bond transcended time and space, a thread that wove its way through generations of their descendants. As the years passed, Effia and Esi's bloodline spread across continents, their kin living disparate lives shaped by the legacy of slavery. Yet through it all, the connection between sisters remained unbroken. Their descendants carried the weight of their shared history, the pain and resilience passed down from one generation to the next. In the face of cruelty and injustice, the spirit of Effia and Esi lived on in their progeny. Their unbreakable bond served as a reminder of the strength that lay within them, a beacon of hope in the darkest of times. And though they never met or knew each other's fate, the sisters' love endured, a testament to the enduring power of family ties that transcend time and distance.
