A searing new novel, at once sweeping and intimate, by the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun: a story of love and race centred around a man and woman from Nigeria who seemed destined to be together--until the choices they are forced to make tear them apart.
     Ifemelu--beautiful, self-assured--left Nigeria 15 years ago, and now studies in Princeton as a Graduate Fellow. Obinze--handsome and kind-hearted--was Ifemelu''s teenage love; he''d hoped to join her in America, but post 9/11 America wouldn''t let him in.

As they revisit their shared passion--for their homeland and for each other--they must face the largest challenges of their lives. Less
