A powerful, tender story of race and
identity by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the award-winning author of Half of a
Yellow Sun.
Ifemelu and Obinze are young and in love when they depart military-ruled
Nigeria for the West. Beautiful, self-assured Ifemelu heads for America, where
despite her academic success, she is forced to grapple with what it means to be
black for the first time. Quiet, thoughtful Obinze had hoped to join her, but
with post-9/11 America closed to him, he instead plunges into a dangerous,
undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, they reunite in a newly
democratic Nigeria, and reignite their passion—for each other and for their homeland.
