Cover of Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Americanah

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

This was actually my first ever Chimamanda book. She has a lot of strange takes (as a person) but she sure can write. This book explores Migration, race, hair, class, return, the little humiliations of being read wrongly in different places. Chimamanda is very good at making social discomfort feel exact without turning everything into an argument. Overall, pretty solid and a page turner.
