From the Orange Prize-winning author of 'Half of a Yellow Sun' come
twelve dazzling stories that turn a penetrating eye on the ties
that bind men and women, parents and children, Nigeria and the
West. In 'A Private Experience', a medical student hides from a
violent riot with a poor Muslim woman whose dignity and faith force
her to confront the realities and fears she's been pushing away. In
'Tomorrow Is Too Far', a woman unlocks the devastating secret that
surrounds her brother's death. The young mother at the centre of
'Imitation' finds her comfortable life threatened when she learns
that her husband back in Lagos has moved his mistress into their
home. And the title story depicts the choking loneliness of a
Nigerian girl who moves to an America that turns out to be nothing
like the country she expected; though falling in love brings her
desires nearly within reach, a death in her homeland forces her to
re-examine them. Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow
and longing, this collection is a resounding confirmation of
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's prodigious storytelling powers.
