## Description

From the award-winning, bestselling author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists— a dazzling story collection filled with "indelible characters who jump off the page and into your head and heart" ( USA Today ). In these twelve riveting stories, the award-winning Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie explores the ties that bind men and women, parents and children, Africa and the United States. Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow, and longing, these stories map, with Adichie's signature emotional wisdom, the collision of two cultures and the deeply human struggle to reconcile them.

Review: A Thoughtful Read - Excellent! I really enjoyed these stories. Adiche is a wonderful storyteller and brings Nigerian culture and people to life. Her characters are memorable as are the stories that they tell.
Review: don’t miss this - Sometimes you read a short story and appreciate it as a bite-sized nugget. The stories in this book were so rich, and the characters so interesting, I was disappointed when the stories ended. This is another excellent work by this outstanding author

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this author.
*by K***2 on October 21, 2014*

This book is the 3rd one I've read by this author, and is a harrowing story, very well written in a style I find compelling. Why not 5 stars? My problem is in relating to Africa and its complicated cultural systems. I even find the characters names difficult to pronounce, which makes it hard for me to imagine them. Isn't that strange? I am obviously lacking all knowledge about the issues dividing the warring factions within this country, let alone the entire continent, all of which destroys its fluency. My fault, not the author's! At least it led me to do some reading up on African history. With this new found knowledge I will re-read it, and hopefully the background of political unrest will slot into place and provide the support I needed. And, if I spend a bit more on the audio version, I could finally hear those beautiful names pronounced correctly.
