Un très bon roman qui fait plonger dans la question des racines et de l'identité

5 stars

J'ai beaucoup aimé Americanah. L'héroïne Ifemelu, quitte le Nigeria pour aller étudier aux États-Unis et se retrouve confronté à la question de son identité entre étudiante états-unienne et nigériane, aux questions de race et de racisme entre les deux continents, mais également à la distance avec sa famille, aux histoires d'amours et relations quand on vit à l'étranger. C'est beau, très bien écrit, et très fin.

The books tells the story of Ifem and Obinze from Nigeria to the US and London and back. I liked the writing, the characters are well built and, although the pace is quite slow, I never found it boring. I recommend it!
