The new collection of stories from the Orange Prize-winning author of `Purple Hibiscus` and `Half of a Yellow Sun`.
The first work from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie since her bestselling, prize-winning and phenomenally successful Richard and Judy pick `Half of a Yellow Sun`. Told with the vividness and insight that make her novels exceptional, these are stories of universal conflicts - between culture, gender, responsibility and identity.
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 center 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
