En el mismo formato que Todos deberíamos ser feministas, el lector lo atesorará y compartirá más que nunca.

"En descendant de l'avion à Lagos, j'ai eu l'impression d'avoir cessé d'être noire." Ifemelu quitte le Nigeria pour aller faire ses études à Philadelphie. Jeune et inexpérimentée, elle laisse derrière elle son grand amour, Obinze, éternel admirateur de l'Amérique qui compte bien la rejoindre.

La distanza tra la Nigeria e gli Stati Uniti è enorme, e non solo in termini di chilometri.

Arrivata in America, Ifemelu deve imparare un'altra volta a parlare e comportarsi. Diverso è l'accento, ma anche il significato delle parole.
