A review by theelliad
Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

4.5

Americanah offers incredible insight into the subtle everyday racism of the world, exploring multiple perspectives and places. While the ending section, primarily consumed by different realtionships is somewhat repetitive and mundane, I found it increased the overall experience- its a book on real life and just like real life we are forced to weather the ups and downs the boring and the dramatic of finding place, purpose and people. Not to compare the two as while similar i do feel they are serving different purposes, i enjoyed this one more than white teeth- possibly due to the female perspectives being the most prominent, i found this was free of the main flaws which inhibited my enjoyment of White Teeth. I also thoroughly enjoyed the blog inclusion, they offered a perfect critical and commentary space that felt natural and informative and broke up the narrative nicely
