'Some novels tell a great story and others make you change the way you look at the world. Americanah does both' Guardian
As
teenagers in Lagos, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their Nigeria is
under military dictatorship, and people are fleeing the country if they
can.
The self-assured Ifemelu departs for America. There she
suffers defeats and triumphs, finds and loses relationships, all the
while feeling the weight of something she never thought of back home:
race. Obinze 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 blogger. But
after so long apart and so many changes, will they find the courage to
meet again, face to face? Fearless, gripping, spanning three
continents and numerous lives, the National Book Critics Circle
Award-winning 'Americanah' is a richly told story of love and
expectation set in today's globalized world.
