The third novel of the Nigerian prose writer Chimanda Ngozi Adichi, who has already won more than one literary award for his previous books, is the largest in time, in the geography of action, and in the range of ideas and problems that Adchi was able to masterfully cover and excitingly. The novel about what the educated person of the "second world" feels, being in the USA or in London, about what awaits him at home if he decides to return. As teenagers, Ifemelu and Obinze fell in love, and they did not have a matter of dictatorship in their native country, to the ominous atmosphere of universal depression and fear. But, having finished school, the beauty Ifemel left to study in America, where she was waiting for a new world, full of both joys and unfamiliar problems. It is gradually being mastered in this country, achieves success and suffers failures, starts a relationship and loses them, and the house seems to her more and more distant. The judicious Obinze from the professor"s family was going to follow his beloved, but the events of September 11 put the cross on his plans to move to America. He is in London, where he leads a dangerous life illegal. Years are going, and now Obinze is a rich man, lives in his native country, where he is appreciated and respected. And Ifemelu became a successful journalist, her blog about the life of immigrants in America is extremely popular. It would seem that both are doing well, but this is only the beginning ... An exciting, bitter, in places a funny novel, covering three continents and many destinies, causing in memory not only the previous novel of Adchi "Half of the Yellow Sun", but also the "Disassion of the Stone" Abraham Vergese And "and the echo flies in the mountains" Haled Hosseini. Probably, the main conversation in this novel is about how the idea of the Motherland and the House, about the shades of partings and returns, lives and changes in us. In 2013, the novel received one of the most prestigious literary prizes of the United States - the National Book Critics Circle Award (National Critics Prize), defeating Donna Tartt
