Adichie的第三部作品，一部短篇小说集：地点不再局限于尼日利亚。各种各样的小人物和小故事被收录其中，通过介绍婚姻来到美国的伊博族女人；有着自己独特信仰世界的同性恋男子；在烦闷的夏季看着自己哥哥在爬树的宗教仪式上死去的少女；在美国和非洲两地做生意，却背叛婚姻的丈夫。一本满是碎片的书。

Adichie虽着重描写尼日利亚的小人物，但从语言风格来说已经非常美国化了。作者很擅长捕捉文化差异带来的冲突，'A Private Experience,'天主教女医生和穆斯林妇女为躲避暴乱共处一室，产生的火花就异常动人；"The Shivering"里面的同性恋者角色也很出彩。但有的故事显得用力过猛，比如"The Arrangers of Marriage"讲移民的身份危机和文化认同露出了说教意味。这本短篇小说集甚至可以看做为《Americanah》做素材积累，“Imitation”中终年辗转于美国和尼日利亚的艺术收藏家丈夫Obiora就跟Obinze有很多性格和处境类似；On Monday of Last Week"里的硕士移民Kamara在美国当保姆的经历也跟Ifemelu有共同之处。

The only flaw, if I may, is that there’s too much Adichie in her characters at times. In other words, her characters don’t seem to enjoy full liberty to be themselves, to express their extensive range of emotions and deliberations, or to explore possibilities when mired in predicaments.

尼日利亚太遥远了，不仅是地理位置的遥远，还有文化心理上的遥远。 我开始“文学带我看世界”这个计划的时候，还大致分了区块，尼日利亚，非洲，西非，西非就有好多国家，我能闭上眼睛想起世界地图上非洲大陆的模样，所以西非大概在哪里，有个大概的印象。我没有去查背景资料，...
