Summary :
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s beloved and iconic novel about star-crossed lovers explores modern questions of race and being black in America—and the search for what it means to call a place home. 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 for the first time with what it means to be black. 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. At once powerful and tender, Americanah is a remarkable novel that has become a modern classic.
