Yes I’m glad I read this one too. I liked how the novel is told in Nigeria and in the States and all the perspectives she adds to the characters. I agree I thought it dragged a bit towards the end when all you want is them to meet up again … but all in all an interesting read. here are my thoughts on it when I read it: https://www.thecuecard.com/movies/the-oscars-americanah-and-wave/

In reply to JoAnn @ Gulfside Musing. I think a read/listen sounds like a great idea. I still have never tried doing one of those, but really need to.

In reply to Les in OR. I want to get to Half a Yellow Sun, too. Right now I have a lot of August books I need to read, but hopefully a little later in the year.

Great review, Susie! As I mentioned before, this book has been on my to read list for ages. I recently picked up the audio version in a 2-for-1 sale and plan to borrow the ebook from the library soon for a read/listen combination.

This has been on my TBR list for years and your review has convinced me to move it to the top of my stacks. I also intend to read Half of a Yellow Sun, which I hear is equally as good!
