SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILEY'S WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2014. A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun, a powerful new novel-a story of love and race centred around a young man and woman from Nigeria who face difficult choices and challenges in the countries they come to call home. As teenagers in a Lagos secondary school, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their Nigeria is under military dictatorship, and people are fleeing the country if they can. Ifemelu-beautiful, self-assured-departs for America to study. She suffers defeats and triumphs, finds and loses relationships and friendships, all the while feeling the weight of something she never thought of back home: race. Obinze-the quiet, thoughtful son of a professor-had hoped to join her, but post-9/11 America will not let him in, and he plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Thirteen years later, Obinze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as a writer of an eye-opening blog about race in America. But when Ifemelu returns to Nigeria, and she and Obinze reignite their shared passion-for their homeland and for each other-they will face the toughest decisions of their lives. Fearless, gripping, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story of love and expectation set in today's globalized world.
CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE is the author of Purple Hibiscus, winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award; Half of a Yellow Sun, winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction "Winner of Winners" award; and Americanah, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award.
