| Summary | A searing new novel, at once sweeping and intimate, by the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun : a story of love and race centered around a man and woman from Nigeria who seemed destined to be together -- until the choices they are forced to make tear them apart. Ifemelu -- beautiful, self-assured -- left Nigeria 15 years ago, and now studies in Princeton as a Graduate Fellow. She seems to have fulfilled every immigrant's dream: Ivy League education ; success as a writer of a wildly popular political blog ; money for the things she needs. But what came before is more like a nightmare: wrenching departure from family ; humiliating jobs under a false name. She feels for the first time the weight of something she didn't think about back home: race. Obinze -- handsome and kind-hearted -- was Ifemelu's teenage love ; he'd hoped to join her in America, but post 9/11 America wouldn't let him in. |
