Über diesen Titel

Shortlisted for the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction 2014.

From the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun, a powerful story of love, race and identity.

As teenagers in Lagos, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their Nigeria is under military dictatorship, and people are fleeing the country if they can. The self-assured Ifemelu departs for America. There she suffers defeats and triumphs, finds and loses relationships, all the while feeling the weight of something she never thought of back home: race. Obinze 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. Thirteen years later, Obinze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as a blogger. But after so long apart and so many changes, will they find the courage to meet again, face to face?

Fearless, gripping, spanning three continents and numerous lives, the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning Americanah is a richly told story of love and expectation set in today’s globalised world.

Kritikerstimmen

“Actress Adjoa Andoh brings to life Adichie’s complex, beautifully wrought novel – which is both a love story and a nuanced analysis of political topics including systemic racism in America; immigration in the UK; and the class system in Nigeria.” (Vogue)

"One of the previous decade’s landmark novels [...] Andoh is a skilled, exciting narrator." (The Times)

"Andoh's rich voice and distinct characters and rhythm keep the listener engrossed.... Andoh has fun adopting a mocking lilt for Ifemelu's snarky blog entries.... [and] a more serious tone brings authenticity to the heartbreak of Obinze's London experience." ( AudioFile)

Apart from the very touching, interesting and sometimes very funny story, the speaker, Adjoa Andover, was absolutely amazing!

I do not know, whether this is a great book, but it definitely is an important book. Ngozi Adichie tells the story of Ifemelu and Obinze, two Nigerian teenagers, a young couple with great dreams and expectations. They want to leave Nigeria, because they don’t see any chance for an adequate career and a decent live, they want to move to the USA. Unfortunately reality catches up with them and their plan turns into an odyssey full of hardship, misery and pain and finally their lives drift apart.

No doubt, Adichie is a skillful narrator. She tells the story with sufficient warmth and passion and the characters are drawn in loving detail and appear to be lifelike individuals. The prose is adequate and fits to the diary like narrative.

I especially liked the voice of Adjoa Andoh. She might not be Nigerian, but she tells the story with a charming accent, which makes the listening pure joy.

The book is full of interesting details and observations. Ifemelu’s blog about white and black America is full of biting wit, but very depressing at the same time. You will learn a lot about immigration issues, trafficking and related crimes. The book also offers a lot of insight into Nigerian politics and everyday life of the prosperous as well as the poor.

The romantic thread did not impress me that much. There were signs of deep love and affection, but also a lot of superficial aspects. Ifemelu does not hesitate at all to break a family apart, just to get her Obinze back.

Some of the book's content rubbed me the wrong way. Corruption, political intrigue and nepotism in Nigeria appear to be widely accepted as part of the culture. Ifemelu, who had a sharp eye for all the sore spots in the US society, appeared to be rather blind after her return to Nigeria.

I still do not know, whether I really liked the book, but it was good that I read it.

Immigration, the real story

I loved to learn in a HERstory about our social cunatrucs and the concept on race and racism in the US. As a non black person it made me rethink some stuff and sometimes it was uncomfortable. But it also helped me to understand myself as a Latina more. I love that the book also encourages you to pursue your dreams. The only think I didn't like was "cealing" and there story together.

10/10 would recommend!

The concept of race

Eines der besten Bücher, das ich je gelesen/gehört habe. Wunderbar geschrieben, ich habe viel gelernt. Die Sprecherin ist phänomenal. Über die verschiedenen Akzente öffnen sich ganze Welten. Alleine deshalb bin ich froh, das Buch gehört zu haben.

In einem Wort: Phantastisch

One of the greatest stories about race, love, and different cultures. Read by such an amazing woman doing all the different accents and voices. I felt like the characters existed in real life as well. Definitely a must hear!

Most beautiful audio book I have ever heard

I thoroughly enjoyed my second time reading/listening to Americanah. The depth and complexity of the main characters, the insights into very different social worlds, unpacked with such attention to detail and perceptiveness and mostly without judgment.
I re-read this book as I now live in Nigerian as an expatriate and I feel I have a gained a little more insight into this complex country.
Thank you to Chimamanda to making these worlds accessible to us!

So much depth

Through a beautiful story, Chimamanda elegantly rubs on your face how racist and sexist our society is. Adjoa plays each character’s accent so well that it adds to the book and makes the audio version much richer than the written one.

The narrator made the book even better

I had read the book when it came out as I am so far have enjoyed everything Chimamanda has written - and this Audio version, of one of the best ever written and put into words, is absolutely living up to the task.. Enjoyable, outstanding performance

Perfect
