From the award-winning author of 'Half of a Yellow Sun,' a powerful story of love, race and identity. 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, 'Americanah' is a richly told story of love and expectation set in today's globalized world.

    This is one of the best - perhaps THE best - book I have read in the last few years. The author is brilliant at illustrating the subtleties of racism in the US, the shallowness of many of the heroine's compatriots in Nigeria and also, relationships between people who love each other yet ultimately disappoint each other. At the same time she describes the unflagging loyalty and affection that relatives and true friends share. At the end of the book I felt that I had learnt a great deal.

    Jag har läst alla böcker som den här författaren har skrivit. Jag anser henne vara en av de bästa nu levande föärfattarna. Hennes senaste är precis lika fantastisk som de tidigare. Hon har öppnat mina ögon för den afrikanska litteraturen som jag inte visste så mycket om tidigare.
