Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, author of "The Thing Around Your Neck," talks about how a person considered a hero by the world at large can be thought of differently by their own family, as told in one of the short stories within the novel entitled 'The American Embassy.' This full interview from a 2009 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.

I am looking for recommendations for books written by black authors about the struggles the black community faces. I would be grateful if you could please suggest some below. I have read two of the books pictured here by @chimamanda_adichie. I highly recommend Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun. Next up will be The Thing Around Your Neck with my friends, @the.snow.child and @ink.on.us. Have you read any of this brilliant writer’s work? . . . . . . #thethingaroundyourneck #americanah #purplehibiscus #halfofayellowsun #chimamandangoziadichie @houseofzabadi https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-4fNUHhev/?igshid=qkjj4gih2xay

"But on that day as she sat at her grandmother's bedside in the fading evening light, Grace was not contemplating her future. She simply held her grandmother's hand, the palm thickened from years of making pottery." #chimamandangoziadichie #thethingaroundyourneck ❤ (presso Whetstone, London)

Typically all my holds on Libby have come through at once and I can't keep up!
Luckily one of them was this beautiful short story collection The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche. This is my first 'book' by Adiche after only having read her essays before 'We should all be feminists' and 'Dear Ijeawele.. a feminist manifesto' which were both 5 star reads for me.
My favourites from the collection were the title story and Ghosts. I'm so taken in by her character development and storytelling, I really want to pick up one of her novels so let me know if you have read any and what your favourite is, please!
4 ⭐
Side note - We should all be feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche is still available as a ted talk if you don't have access to the book, it's really worth a watch!

She sits at the edge of the leather sofa and looks around the living room, remembers the delivery man from Ethan Interiors who changed the lampshade the other day. You got a great house, ma’am, he’d said, with that curious American smile that meant he believed he, too, could have something like it someday. It is one of the things she has come to love about America, the abundance of unreasonable hope. ― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, The Thing Around Your Neck
