Another incredible feat was achieved by Chimamanda Adichie yesterday when her latest work, Americanah ranked in the list of top 10 books of 2013 by the New York Times.

In the article, her book was given the following description:
FICTION
AMERICANAH
By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
Alfred A. Knopf, $26.95.

By turns tender and trenchant, Adichie’s third novel takes on the comedy and tragedy of American race relations from the perspective of a young Nigerian immigrant. From the office politics of a hair-braiding salon to the burden of memory, there’s nothing too humble or daunting for this fearless writer, who is so attuned to the various worlds and shifting selves we inhabit — in life and online, in love, as agents and victims of history and the heroes of our own stories.
The book has gotten several glowing reviews since its release. Congrats to her for making Nigeria and Africa proud once again.
