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 globalized world.En línea: http://www.4thestate.co.uk/book/americanah-9780007356348/ Link: https://biblioteca-colegio-estudio.com/gestion/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_dis Americanah [texto impreso] / Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Autor . - 4th Estate, 2022 . - 624 p. ; 14 x 21,5 cm.

Título : Interpreter of maladies Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Jhumpa Lahipi, Autor Editorial: 4th Estate Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 224 p. Dimensiones: 15 x 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0006551799 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Clasificación: 821.111-3"20" Resumen: A couple exchange unprecedented confessions during nightly blackouts in their Boston apartment as they struggle to cope with a heartbreaking loss; a student arrives in new lodgings in a mystifying new land and, while he awaits the arrival of his arranged-marriage wife from Bengal, he finds his first bearings with the aid of the curious evening rituals that his centenarian landlady orchestrates; a schoolboy looks on while his childminder finds that the smallest dislocation can unbalance her new American life all too easily and send her spiralling into nostalgia for her homeland…
Jhumpa Lahiri’s prose is beautifully measured, subtle and sober, and she is a writer who leaves a lot unsaid, but this work is rich in observational detail, evocative of the yearnings of the exile (mostly Indians in Boston here), and full of emotional pull and reverberation.En línea: http://www.4thestate.co.uk/book/interpreter-of-maladies-9780006551799/ Link: https://biblioteca-colegio-estudio.com/gestion/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_dis Interpreter of maladies [texto impreso] / Jhumpa Lahipi, Autor . - 4th Estate, 2000 . - 224 p. ; 15 x 23 cm.
