A review by norademi
Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

4.0

Somehow I've been putting off this book for a while. It came to my attention when I read another short novella of Adichie "We Should All Be Feminists", which I fell in love with. Americanah is beautifully written, a slow-paced, slice of life with a lot of different themes. There was a lot that Adichie seemed to want to say but it felt a little too much, a little overwhelming. I think it could've been split up into 3-4 different books. Overall, I'm glad I read this book and I'm glad to have known Ifemelu and Obinze.
