Few weeks after The New York Times listed Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Americanah as top of
2013 books, the BBC has also given the Nigerian-born author a top place in its ‘Best

BBC says Adichie is “supremely
smart.” She is also noted as a “fearless” writer when it comes to subjects such
as “love, hate and shades of blackness.”
