FICTION PAPERBACK

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

“Americanah functions as many things, which is part of why it is such a remarkable accomplishment. It’s a novel, telling the story of two young Nigerians making their lives under drastically different (and yet fundamentally similar) ways abroad. But it’s also a powerful polemic on race, particularly race in the United States; it’s a book to start discussions; a tool; a reading assignment for American who believes this country (or any country) is “post-racial.” – Katie P., Bookseller

The Doll by Taylor Stevens

“The Doll builds on a body of works that puts Taylor Stevens in the company of Jeff Abbott, Lee Child, and her hero Robert Ludlum. With Vanessa Michael Munroe, Stevens has given us an unpredictable heroine who goes places we never imagined. The only thing you can be sure of, it won’t be boring.” – Scott M., BookPeople Crime Fiction Coordinator
