Relationship to Other Books

Consider Adichie's other novels, Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun, and her short story collection The Thing Around Your Neck.

Consider Teju Cole's Open City, another novel exploring the experiences of a Nigerian who recently immigrated to the United States.

Students may be interested in other authors who write about immigrant and dyasporic experiences, such as Edwidge Danticat or Chaim Potok.
