The thing around your neck

In these twelve dazzling stories, Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie - acclaimed author of Half of a Yellow Sun - explores the ties that bind men and women, parents and children, Africa and the United States. Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow, and longing, these stories map, with Adichie's signature emotional wisdom, the collision of two cultures and the deeply human struggle to reconcile them.
