Description
Deep stories full of beauty and sadness map the clash of two cultures and the desire for their unification. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her short story collection focuses not only on Nigeria but also on America, and in twelve extraordinary stories, she explores the bonds that tie men and women, parents and children, Africa and the United States. In the story 'Inner Experience,' a medical student hides from wild street riots alongside a poor Muslim woman, whose dignity and faith force the girl to confront the realities and fears she has been avoiding until now. In the story titled 'Far from Tomorrow,' a woman uncovers a devastating secret regarding her brother's death. A young mother in the story 'Imitation' learns that her comfortable life in Philadelphia is threatened because her husband has moved his mistress into their house in Lagos, Nigeria. And the titular story captures the suffocating loneliness of a young Nigerian woman who moves to America and discovers that this country is completely different from what she expected.
