"A young woman from Nigeria leaves behind her home and her first love to start a new life in America, only to find her dreams are not all she expected"

Anna is a writer who keeps four notebooks. In the black one, she reviews the African experience of her earlier years. In the red one, she records her political life, her disillusionment with communism. In the yellow one, she writes a novel. And in the blue one she keeps a diary. Finally, in love with an American writer and threatened with insanity, Anna tries to bring the threads of all four books together in a golden notebook.
