‘A delicious, important novel’ The Times ‘Alert, alive and
gripping’ Independent ‘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.
