From the Orange Prize-winning author of ´Half of a Yellow Sun´ come twelve dazzling stories that turn a penetrating eye on the ties that bind men and women, parents and children, Nigeria and the West. In ´A Private Experience´, a medical student hides from a violent riot with a poor Muslim woman whose dignity and faith force her to confront the realities and fears she´s been pushing away. In ´Tomorrow Is Too Far´, a woman unlocks the devastating secret that surrounds her brother´s death. The young mother at the centre of ´Imitation´ finds her comfortable life threatened when she learns that her husband back in Lagos has moved his mistress into their home. And the title story depicts the choking loneliness of a Nigerian girl who moves to an America that turns out to be nothing like the country she expected; though falling in love brings her desires nearly within reach, a death in her homeland forces her to re-examine them. Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow and longing, this collection is a resounding confirmation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie´s prodigious storytelling powers...
