Americanah - by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

An excellent, well-written book, IMHO. The story is quite simple - essentially about Ifemelu going from Nigeria to the US and then returning. As a result, one gains a lot of insight into life in Nigeria and about racism issues in the US. There is also coverage of similar topics resulting from Obinze spending time in the UK. Overall, i found the style of writing engaging, as there is a careful blend of facts, descriptions of places etc. and consideration of feelings. It was good to read something, written in excellent English, but with a “voice”, that is different from British and American authors [a similar pleasure can be found in the work of Indian authors]. I will certainly investigate the other work by this author.
