What are you reading? Americanah Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Into the Darkest Corner Elizabeth Haynes

Genre? It’s so hard to narrow it down, as this book touches so many different genres; as one review said it’s a “coming-of-age novel, romance, comic novel of social manners, up-to-the-minute meditation on race”, as well as an “immigrant saga”.

How did you get hold of it? I’m a 100 percent Kindle user now, and am able to borrow ebooks from libraries both in Singapore and in my hometown’s local library in the US. I picked Americanah on a whim from a bestseller list and decided to download it.

How far have you got?

Finished, in record time! It was that good!

So, you’d recommend it? This is definitely in my top five books of all time, so I highly recommend it. I decided to give it a try after seeing raves on the review site Goodreads, and I’m so glad I did. The storyline didn’t really appeal to me at the time, but Adichie is such an amazing writer that the story came to life, even though the characters’ stories are so far removed from my reality. If you loved The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, give this one a go! I can’t wait to read more of Adichie’s novels.
