My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a great novel, especially for those who have travelled or want to travel to a foreign country or if you wish to explore what it is like to live abroad. You may find a lot to relate to. The book overviews an African, Ifemelu, travelling and living in the US, UK, and back to Africa. It is an intriguing story that may prepare you for the culture shock abroad. But I felt the novel could have been better if the chapters/plot were more unified.
Although the novel is realistic, it is, of course, based on the author’s experience and opinions with characters attached. You had better read this novel and travel with an open mind, and gain your own experience.
