The original fiction novel by Chimamanda tells the story of Ifemelu and Obinze, two young Nigerians who originally meet and date in secondary school. Raised in Nigeria, Ifemelu eventually moves to the USA and has several relationships. Many years later she decides to return home to Nigeria. In the meantime, Obinze wants to live in Europe but ends up getting deported from England back to Nigeria.With both Ifemelu and Obinze back in Nigeria, they eventually resume their friendship and relationship despite Obinze being married. "Americanah is a Nigerian word for the different personality and behavioral changes an African brings back after being in the US for any length of time."Most readers are going to want to check out this Instaread summary (think DETAILED review) first. With the original novel being 610 pages (yep, no typo there), this Instaread summary has many of the details and spoilers in 21 pages. Great for book club readers etc., aiding discussion and understanding of the book. There is a wonderful character analysis. The original is not just about Ifemelu and Obinze but includes other characters and family members. If you don't have time or desire to read the original but need to know what it is about then this is for you!Please note my review is based on the quality and contents of this Instaread summary and NOT the original. Book provided in exchange for an honest review. Thanks, Liz

If you're a student like me, and looking for a quick fix to your procrastination, I suggest Instaread reviews. They're much better than Cliff Notes and the other competition.

This is an overview of the actual book “Americanuh.“ Kind of like an abbreviated Cliff's Notes for the full book. It provides a potential reader enough information regarding this book’s perspective and reflection to determine if we want to invest the extra money and time to actually buy and read the entire book. As an avid reader I have personally found “Instaread” to be a very helpful and valuable service.
