Classic & Older Gothic

Americanah

by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Ifemelu leaves Nigeria for America where she confronts race for the first time, while her love Obinze becomes an undocumented immigrant in London. Years later, after Ifemelu has built a successful blog dissecting American racial dynamics, they attempt to reconnect in a democratic Nigeria. Adichie's sweeping novel examines identity, immigration, race, and love across continents with humor, intelligence, and unflinching honesty.
