Uno de los mejores libros del Siglo XXI según el New York Times Una original historia sobre la inmigración en Estados Unidos desde el punto de vista de una estudiante de literatura nigeriana.Americanah ha sido galardonada con el National Book Critics Circle Award 2014 y seleccionada por los ciudadanos de Nueva York como el libro ganador de la campaña «One Book, One New York» 2017. Lagos, mediados de los noventa. En el marco de una dictadura militar y en una Nigeria que ofrece poco o ningún futuro, Ifemelu y Obinze, dos adolescentes atípicos, se enamoran apasionadamente. Como gran parte de su generación, saben que antes o después tendrán que dejar el país. Obinze siempre ha soñado con vivir en Estados Unidos, pero es Ifemelu quien consigue el visado para vivir con su tía en Brooklyn y estudiar en la universidad. Mientras Obinze lucha contra la burocracia para reunirse con Ifemelu, ella se encuentra en una América donde nada es como se imaginaba, comenzando por la importancia del color de su piel. Todas sus experiencias, desgracias y aventuras conducen a una única pregunta: ¿acabará convirtiéndose en una «americanah»? Americanah, que recoge el término burlón con que los nigerianos se refieren a los que vuelven de Estados Unidos dándose aires, es una historia de amor a lo largo de tres décadas y tres continentes, la historia de cómo se crea una identidad al margen de los dictados de la sociedad y sus prejuicios. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A modern classic about star-crossed lovers that explores questions of race and being Black in America--and the search for what it means to call a place home. - From the award-winning author of We Should All Be Feminists and Half of a Yellow Sun
Americanah was honored with the 2014 National Book Critics Circle Award and selected by the citizens of New York as the 2017 winner of the "One Book, One New York" campaign.
The bestselling novel--a love story of race and identity--from the award-winning author of We Should All Be Feminists and Dear Ijeawele. Ifemelu and Obinze are young and in love when they depart military-ruled Nigeria for the West. Beautiful, self-assured Ifemelu heads for America, where despite her academic success, she is forced to grapple with what it means to be black for the first time. Quiet, thoughtful Obinze had hoped to join her, but with post-9/11 America closed to him, he instead plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, they reunite in a newly democratic Nigeria, and reignite their passion--for each other and for their homeland. "An expansive, epic love story."--O, The Oprah Magazine At once powerful and tender, Americanah is a remarkable novel that is "dazzling...funny and defiant, and simultaneously so wise." --San Francisco Chronicle

Good, cute talking book. Good audio
Format: Board book
This little book has pretty good audio and has lasted quite awhile. The story is cute, my little dude liked it, and it was well made. Thick board book so it's perfect for little hands.
(Amazon VIne people, please accept me into your ranks. I know this review wasn't as good, but IDK what else to really write, I got this for my nephew for Easter I think two years ago and it was destroyed after awhile intentionally. I don't have the greatest memory of it, but we kept the speaker part after because he liked it before we finally just got rid of it while cleaning...sorry lil dude if you ever come across this review, I'll get you a new one if you're that passionate about it)

Great for small kids
Format: Board book
Love this book. Easy for the kids to turn the cardboard pages, and the sound buttons are easy to push. Bought for my 2 year old grandson’s birthday, but 3 year old cousin keeps trying to steal it.

Cats craze over at this household! My kid is obsessed and honestly so am I. We got this book as a Christmas present because we love books and cars. It’s loud enough and it’s fun to follow along and press the buttons . We take it on road trips and read it at bedtime. Definitely a great addition to our library!
