Americanah is a 2013 novel by the Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, for which Adichie won the 2013 U.S. National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction. Americanah tells the story of a young Nigerian woman, Ifemelu, who immigrates to the United States to attend university. The novel traces Ifemelu's life in both countries, threaded by her love story with high school classmate Obinze.
The books tells the story of Ifem and Obinze from Nigeria to the US and London and back. I liked the writing, the characters are well built and, although the pace is quite slow, I never found it boring. I recommend it!
