There is no such thing as the perfect text, yet. There are parts that we love, parts that we think make us uncomfortable, portions that come across a bit too preachy or patronizing, and passages that are just plain wrong. But there is something in this text for every reader. We all have our personal relationships with different words and phrases, with different characters or events; but we have moments when the text resonates so deeply that it moves us to tears or laughter or anger.
"In the story, a man travels to America to find his wife who has been living there for some time. While he was in Africa, she had married another man and has two children with him...."
This is a beautiful and powerful book about the differences of life in parts of Africa and America.

Through the course of this powerful and touching novel, we see Kambili's transformation as she becomes more comfortable with herself while growing into a woman who knows where she belongs.
"The story is about the narrator, Ifemelu, who moves to America from Nigeria and experiences culture shock. As someone who is dealing with the trauma of moving, she also deals with the constant reminder that she's in a different country where one struggles to find anything resembling home."
