panThis story isn‘t Adichie‘s best work, IMO. A Nigerian lawyer living in America gets pregnant with her boyfriend‘s child. He unexpectedly leaves her and her overbearing mother steps in to help her during and after the baby‘s birth. That‘s it. 🤷🏻♀️ There‘s a bit more about why her mother is so bitter, but there‘s nothing special about this story. #audiobook

The Thing Around Your NeckCinfhen Too bad, at least you knocked off a prompt ❣️ 3y
youneverarrived I liked it as a short story. I‘ve not read any of her other books to compare it to though. 3y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB I enjoyed TTAYN! That‘s why I was so surprised not to like this one at all. She‘s generally an author I like, but this wasn‘t my favorite. 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen yeah, I might have been a bit harsh giving it a pan rather than a so-so, but I stand by not thinking it‘s her best work. 3y
Megabooks @youneverarrived I really liked her short story collection that Barbara mentioned above, which is one reason I was disappointed, and I also loved the novel I‘ll tag as well as her two shorter nonfiction books.Americanah (edited) 3y
