It's a close but complicated childhood friendship that ends abruptly in their early twenties, never to be revisited, but never quite forgotten, either.

But when Aimee develops grand philanthropic ambitions, the story moves from London to West Africa, where diaspora tourists travel back in time to find their roots, young men risk their lives to escape into a different future, the women dance just like Tracey-the same twists, the same shakes-and the origins of a profound inequality are not a matter of distant history, but a present dance to the music of time.

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. 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.
Today marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, honoring the bravery and sacrifices of Allied troops as they stormed the beaches of Normandy. For many this will be the last major milestone before the day that secured postwar peace begins to pass out of living memory.
The 1945 documentary From D-Day to Paris offers a deeper look into this historic day, including scenes shot under actual battle conditions by service and newsreel cameramen.

- Rick Stein's Secret France: Episode 6
- Rick Stein approaches the end of his meander through France with a final glance at the culinary delights of the Languedoc before crossing over to Provence and the Mediterranean coastline that continues to reveal new insights into southern French cuisine. In the border town of Uzes, Rick rediscovers his love for salt cod and marvels at the colourful array of French patisserie as he enjoys a seasonal fig tart with his morning coffee. He then heads towards the harbour town of Cassis, not for seafood, but for North African lamb chorba cooked by a local fisherman. In his Provencal kitchen, Rick makes a confit tomato and aubergine tart tatin.
