From the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun, a dazzling new novel: a story of love and race centered around a young man and woman from Nigeria who face difficult choices and challenges in the countries they come to call home.
As teenagers in a Lagos secondary school, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their Nigeria is under military dictatorship, and people are leaving the country if they can. Ifemelu—beautiful, self-assured—departs for America to study. She suffers defeats and triumphs, finds and loses relationships and friendships, all the while feeling the weight of something she never thought of back home: race. Obinze—the quiet, thoughtful son of a professor—had hoped to join her, but post-9/11 America will not let him in, and he plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London.
Years later, Obinze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as a writer of an eye-opening blog about race in America. But when Ifemelu returns to Nigeria, and she and Obinze reignite their shared passion—for their homeland and for each other—they will face the toughest decisions of their lives.
Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today’s globalized world: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s most powerful and astonishing novel yet.
受到马克小伙子的鼓舞,立下今年好好看书的伟大志向。本想跟随小马哥的脚步,一周一本来着,马上发现这个节奏我是跟不上的。好在现在一个月不到看完了一本,如果这个速度可以保持,我也给自己打个及格分了。闲话少说——《美国佬》奉上。 1.一部偶像剧一样的做呕情节 难免我要...
评分 评分读的时候觉得真好,真好啊,还写了简单书评。可之后觉得回味不够。去年NYtimes 大热的书,也算是应了回景。可读性还是很强的。
评分如果结局不那么仓促俗套,给五星。全书有两个交叉的情境,分别是男女主人公在“西方”和尼日尼亚故土;其中更喜欢她写在“西方”的辛辣观察。读的时候会默默比对阮越清的《同情者》。
评分只是结尾貌似有些偷工减料/意犹未尽呢
