A book discussion of AMERICANAH by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie "It is ostensibly a love story – the tale of childhood sweethearts at school in Nigeria whose lives take different paths when they seek their fortunes in America and England – but it is also a brilliant dissection of modern attitudes to race, spanning three continents and touching on issues of identity, loss and loneliness." (Elizabeth Day/ The Guardian) The book was selected as one of the 10 Best Books of 2013 by the editors of the New York Times Book Review.[1] It won the 2013 National Book Critics Circle Award (Fiction),[2] and was shortlisted for the 2014 Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction[3] of the United Kingdom. Your hosts will provide a bountiful selection of sweet and savory refreshments. Please purchase your personal copy of this book for our discussion. Discussion will take place in Montclair.
