Americanah

In this heartrending and uplifting novel, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie explores what it means to be young and in love when you leave Nigeria for the West. Beautiful Ifemelu heads for America but faces anti-blackness; quiet Obinze is promised a better life in London, but instead finds danger. Fifteen years later, they re-unite in Nigeria, where they reignite their passion for each other and for their country. In exploring race, belonging, and lineages through the lens of a mixed-race couple, Adichie has crafted an unforgettable story that glows with warmth and humanity.
