Americanah, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

'A delicious, important novel' THE TIMES 'Alert, alive and gripping' INDEPENDENT Ifemelu and Obinze are young and in love when they depart military-ruled Nigeria. In America, Ifemelu suffers defeats and triumphs, finds and loses relationships, all the while feeling the weight of something she never thought of back home: race. Meanwhile, Obinze plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London.

Fifteen years later, when they reunite in a newly democratic Nigeria, and reignite their passion – for each other and for their homeland – they face the hardest decision of their lives. Fearless, gripping, spanning three continents and numerous lives, the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning Americanah is a literary masterpiece, and one of the defining books of the decade. 'A love story for our time' VOGUE ‘A brilliant novel: epic in scope, personal in resonance and with lots to say’ OBSERVER 'A tour de force.
