"An expansive, epic love story."—O, The Oprah Magazine
 
One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years

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 with what it means to be Black for the first time. 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 is "dazzling…funny and defiant, and simultaneously so wise." San Francisco Chronicle

Beeindruckend. Unbedingt lesen!

Absolut wichtiges Buch, besonders für „Non-Blacks“. Augenöffnend, roh und emotional.

Very interesting

The story telling was second to none...It reminded me of my first time in Europe and how I realized living in Nigeria and living abroad is very different...you realize how lucky you are to live with people you share same culture with and also appreciate the good life you have living abroad which comes with another challenge “race”...
