Ifemelu and Obinze are young and in love when they leave military-ruled Nigeria for the West. Beautiful, self-assured Ifemelu heads for America, where she suffers shocks and disappointments, finding unexpected success as a blogger. At home in a rapidly changing Lagos, Obinze had hoped to join her, but post-9/11 America will not let him in, and he plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, Obinze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as a writer of an African-American blog. But after so long apart and so many changes, will they find the same intimacy that once bound them together?
