I had some free time this week and was finally able to go back to my novel. 

_Americanah by Chimamanda Adiche_ 

Besides having  an interesting story it touches important societal issues like race, class and the likes. 

Been an African living in Africa I've been shielded from most prejudice associated with race and might not really understand the concepts 'race and racism'

With just about 20% to go I could write my own book now, lol. So much I could say but let me chill till I'm done shaa. 
I'll be back.
