The Thing Around Your Neck

Popis:

From the Orange Prize-winning author of `Half of a Yellow Sun` come twelve dazzling stories that turn a penetrating eye on the ties that bind men and women, parents and children, Nigeria and the West.In `A Private Experience`, a medical student hides from a violent riot with a poor Muslim woman whose dignity and faith force her to confront the realities and fears she`s been pushing away.In `Tomorrow Is Too Far`, a woman unlocks the devastating secret that surrounds her brother`s death.The young mother at the centre of `Imitation` finds her comfortable life threatened when she learns that her husband back in Lagos has moved his mistress into their home.And the title story depicts the choking loneliness of a Nigerian girl who moves to an America that turns out to be nothing like the country she expected; though falling in love brings her desires nearly within reach, a death in her homeland forces her to re-examine them.Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow and longing, this collection is a resounding confirmation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie`s prodigious storytelling powers.
