A brilliant exploration of being African in America an urgent and important book, further evidence that its author is a real talent Sunday Telegraph
An extremely thoughtful, subtly provocative exploration of structural inequality, of different kinds of oppression, of gender roles, of the idea of home. Subtle, but not afraid to pull its punches Alex Clark, Guardian
A tour de force The artistry with which Adichie keeps her story moving, while animating the complex anxieties in which the characters live and work, is hugely impressive Mail on Sunday
Adichie is terrific on human interactions Adichies writing always has an elegant shimmer to it Wise, entertaining and unendingly perceptive Independent on Sunday
Adichie paints on a grand canvas, boldly and confidently This is a very funny, very warm and moving intergenerational epic that confirms Adiches virtuosity, boundless empathy and searing social acuity Dave Eggers
An honest novel about race with guts and lustre within the context of a well-crafted, compassionate, visceral and delicately funny tale of lasting high-school love and the sorrows and adventures of immigration Diana Evans, The Times
