Description

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie broke onto the literary scene with her amazing debut novel, Purple Hibiscus, which experts praised as “one of the greatest books in the future out-of Africa in years” (Baltimore Sun), with “prose as rich whilst the Nigerian scenery that it strongly evokes” (The Boston Globe); The Washington Post named her “the twenty-first-century child of Chinua Achebe.” Her prize-winning Half a Yellow Sun became an immediate classic upon its publication 3 years later, once more placing her great gifts—graceful storytelling, understanding empathy, and intense understanding into her characters’ hearts—on show. Today, in her most personal and effortlessly constructed work to-date, Adichie becomes her penetrating attention on not just Nigeria but America, in twelve stunning tales that investigate the connections that bind men and women, parents and kids, Africa and the United States.In “A Personal Encounter,” a medical scholar covers from the chaotic riot having a bad Muslim girl whose self-esteem and religion drive her to face the facts and worries she’s been driving away. In “Tomorrow is Too Much,” a lady opens the secret that encompasses her brother’s demise. The young mother in the middle of “Imitation” sees her comfortable living in Philly confronted when she discovers that her partner has relocated his mistress to their Lagos house.
