Americanah
by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (also rec’d by Gabrielle Union & Greta Gerwig )
Buy on AmazonAmericanah is a dramatic romance and a coming-of-age story, a class narrative and a comedy of manners. I first read it in 2013 and I was struck with how exactly I related to Adichie’s depiction of the contemporary African immigrant experience. She captures it, expresses it, analyzes it and celebrates it. It’s a story begging to be experienced visually.
