Americanah
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
One of The New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the YearLONGLISTED 2015 - International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award From the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun, a dazzling new novel: a story of love and race centered 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 leaving 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. 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, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today's globalized world: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's most powerful and astonishing novel yet.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Chimamanda Ngozi AdichiePublisher: Knopf Publishing GroupPublished: 05/14/2013ISBN: 9780307271082Pages: 477Weight: 1.90lbsSize: 9.48h x 6.52w x 1.56dAward: Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction - FinalistAward: ALA Notable Books - WinnerAward: Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence - FinalistAward: National Book Critics Circle Award - WinnerAward: International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award - FinalistReview Citations: Publishers Weekly 03/25/2013Booklist 04/01/2013 pg. 18Kirkus Reviews 04/15/2013Library Journal 05/01/2013 pg. 67Essence 06/01/2013 pg. 57Entertainment Weekly 05/17/2013 pg. 76Shelf Awareness 05/24/2013New York Times Book Review 06/09/2013 pg. 12New York Times Book Review 06/16/2013 pg. 28Books & Culture 11/01/2013 pg. 29Essence 12/01/2013 pg. 82NY Times Notable Bks of Year 12/08/2013 pg. 26New York Times Book Review 12/15/2013 pg. 12Entertainment Weekly 12/13/2013 pg. 59Entertainment Weekly 12/27/2013 pg. 94Entertainment Weekly 01/24/2014 pg. 21Booklist Editors Choice/Adult 01/01/2014 pg. 10Entertainment Weekly 03/07/2014 pg. 69BookPage 05/01/2013
