Americanah

I love watching interviews with the author, and loved her essay on feminism. This is my first novel by her, and I enjoyed it without being over the moon. I know a lot of people felt the comments on race in America were too heavy handed, but I enjoyed those portions. I don't think white Americans, even liberals, do well with criticism. :)

My issue, I suppose, was that I never invested in Ifemelu reunion with Obinze. I wanted Ifemelu to be happy, or happier, but was almost neutral on how Obinze fit into that happiness.

I struggled with many of the names. but that's not the author's fault, other than perhaps in the sense there were a lot of characters, few that were on the stage for long. Because the names were unfamiliar, the x-ray feature on Kindle helped a lot.
