Yejide and Akin have been married since they met and fell in love at university. Though many expected Akin to take several wives, he and Yejide have always agreed: Polygamy is not for them. But four years into their marriage - after consulting fertility doctors and healers, trying strange teas and unlikely cures - Yejide is still not pregnant. She assumes she still has time - until her family arrives on her doorstep with a young woman they introduce as Akin's second wife.

I felt the love, the betrayal, the pain. I have never lost a child, and can definitely not imagine having to do that repeatedly. I can even understand Akin trying to do anything to make his wife happy. Infertility can destroy relationships. Put some deceit on top and you have a whole mess.

Fearing that her child is predestined to endure the same debilitating depression that has marked her own life, Dorothy seeks radical help.

This book was like reading 3 stories beautifully combined into one great story. I am now very interested in epigenetics and trauma!

Revisado: 04-24-22
I liked the story and the plot! I’m not a fan of the narration! She emphasizes the wrong words, her voice changes sometimes for the characters, sometimes not. It’s just very inconsistent. I would have rather read it myself, but I’d already invested $$

Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all memory of her - but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home he’s ever known. So begins an unexpected journey that takes Hiram from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia’s proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the wilderness, from the coffin of the South to dangerously idealistic movements in the North.

One of the comedy world's fastest-rising stars tells his wild coming of age story during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed. Noah provides something deeper than traditional memoirists: powerfully funny observations about how farcical political and social systems play out in our lives.

The self-assured Ifemelu departs for America, where Obinze hopes to join her, but post-9/11 America will not let him in, and he plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, after so long apart and so many changes, will they find the courage to meet again, face to face?

Anxiously read at every opportunity
Revisado: 05-17-16
What made the experience of listening to Americanah the most enjoyable?
This book helped me to better understand the thoughts of non-American blacks. It will also help me to explain some things to my classes next year (ie why there is a need for black magazines and black television.)
What other book might you compare Americanah to and why?
This book reminds me of The House on Sugar Beach, only because they are both written by Africans (Nigerian and Liberian) who don't completely understand the Black American experience.
Have you listened to any of Adjoa Andoh’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have never listened to Andoh's performances, but I find her to be very good. I do wish that there was someone else to do the true American parts because her American English was truly lacking, I did appreciate her reading of the African names.
If you could rename Americanah, what would you call it?
African Americanah
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed listening to this book so much, I ordered the book. I willread excerpts of this with my Black American Literature classes.
