It feels like a good sign to me that at least some books like this can be published these days. Americanah is unabashedly about race, but not only that. It's also a love story, a migration tale, and a bit of quirky social commentary. I loved reading about the worlds of Lagos and the East Coast of the U.S. through the eyes of Ifemelu and Obinze, as Adichie pulls the reader expertly between locations throughout the novel. Great read!
