Description

Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2021.
A brilliant novel, with not a word out of place - Caleb Azumah Nelson ― Guardian, Best Books of 2021

A piercing story of faith, science and the opioid crisis . . . Transcendent Kingdom really sings. There's bravery as well as beauty here ― Observer

Transcendent Kingdom is
 a novel for all times
'Yaa's depiction of these illnesses; substance addiction and depression and the family's deep-rooted tangled traumas, is skilful . . . Transcendent Kingdom is a story of love, loss and redemption, and holds a mirror up to one version of the first-generation immigrant experience that will sadly seem familiar to many of us ― Melan Mag
