    “Chimamanda is nothing short of incredible. This book changed me in a few ways. It's been a while since it was published but if you haven't ready it, I highly encourage you to do so.”

    “Ifemelu's story spans her lifetime as a Nigerian woman who comes to the US and eventually, returns home. Expansive themes of race, belonging, class and loves complicated evolution over time are deeply relatable and moving. One of those books that you can't stop reading once you start.”
