An incisive love story between three continents - virtuosic and contemporary, told by one of the great young voices of world literature. Chimamanda Adichie tells of the love between Ifemelu and Obinze, which takes its course in Nigeria in the 1990s. Then their paths part: the self-confident Ifemelu studies in Princeton, Obinze is stranded in London as an illegal immigrant. After years, they are suddenly faced with a decision that turns their lives upside down. Adichie succeeds in a haunting, modern and highly political novel about identity and racism in our global world.
