Description
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah is a powerful, witty, and deeply moving novel about race, identity, and a lifelong love story spanning three continents.
As young classmates in military-ruled Nigeria, Ifemelu and Obinze fall deeply in love. But their paths diverge when the brilliant, self-assured Ifemelu departs for America to pursue her education. There, she grapples with the harsh realities of race, class, and isolation for the first time, eventually finding her voice through a fiercely candid, award-winning blog about the Black experience in America. Meanwhile, the quiet and academic Obinze is barred from joining her post-9/11 and plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London.
Years later, both find themselves back in a newly democratic, booming Nigeria. When they reunite, they must face whether their old passion can survive who they have become.
