Very long. But it should be; it has to be. Adichie touches on so many societal subjects that are so so so important today, and have always been. The difference of being African American and being African, racial division and perception that is made and done in society, the hardships of migrating to a different country, the supposed “American dream” that is in truth an absolute nightmare that knows nothing dreamy, but even topics such as globalization and the “ease” of contact and exchange of information are flawlessly covered. Astonishing; and all written around a sweet, youthful love story. EVERYONE should read this
