Det du har om halsen

Fra forfatteren til En halv gul sol og Americanah kommer tolv spektakulære noveller. Adichie kaster et gennemborende blik på de bånd, der knytter kvinder og mænd. forældre og børn, Nigeria og Vesten sammen; om kærlighed og sammenbrud, vold og tro og de øjeblikke af pludselig indsigt, der kaster lys over skønheden og desperationen i helt almindelige liv.
