Book excerpt: One of Nigeria's pre-eminent novelists, and active in book issues in Nigeria, the author tells this imaginary story in the feminine first person. It reflects the actual experiences of a Nigerian writer who participated in the International Writing Programme of the University of Iowa. The author uses Ify, the narrator, as an opportunity to experience America through the eyes of a Nigerian woman. Her experiences range from casual observations to serious socio-economic aspects of life - politics, religion, education, commerce, philosophy, and sexual relations. The intention is to show how developing countries can profit from western values, whilst not surrendering Africa's cultural lores and moral values.
