Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who recently revealed to Financial Times that she welcomed her first child; a baby girl, without much noise, has spoken on motherhood.
In a recent live webchat session with her fans via Guardian UK, the award-winning writer answered different questions, including one on motherhood where she said, ‘Most exciting – a new and unique kind of love has come into my life, glorious and joyful and encompassing and full of discovery. Most terrifying – the anxiety-filled desire to protect her from everything and the terror-filled sense that I cannot’.

When asked about the best book she has read this year, she said ‘A book of poems by Reginald Dwayne Betts called Bastards of the Reagan Era which is magnificent, and I have just been reading every book by Tessa Hadley after reading her novel The Past. She has such great psychological insights into human beings, which is rare. She is one of the best fiction writers writing today’.
