Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (About this sound listen) born 15 September 1977) is a Nigerian writer whose works range from novels to short stories to nonfiction.
She was described in The Times Literary Supplement as "the most prominent" of a "procession of critically acclaimed young anglophone authors [who] is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African literature".
Adichie has written the novels Purple Hibiscus (2003), Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), and Americana (2013), the short story collection The Thing Around Your Neck (2009), and the book-length essay We Should All Be Feminists (2014).

As teenagers in Lagos, Female and Bonze fall in love. Their Nigeria is under military dictatorship, and people are fleeing the country if they can. The self-assured Female 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.
Bonze 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, Bonze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Female 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, ‘Americana’ is a richly told story of love and expectation set in today’s globalized world.
