Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

5.0

Adichie has a way of telling a story. Her prose are as elegant and precise, deliberate and vivid, as any I've ever read. I was instantly captivated. The novel tells the love story of Ifemelu and Obinze, interwoven with anecdotes and perspectives on race and racism in America. The story itself is beautiful and perfect. I also know that I'll never look at anything pertaining to race in quite the same way, I feel as though I now have a fuller and more nuanced perspective the subject. All of this while being a shear pleasure to read.
