Imbolo Mbue is a native of Limbe, Cameroon, who came to U.S. to attend college. She attained her B.S. from Rutgers University, and later her M.A. from Columbia University.

After losing her job during the 2008 Wall Street financial crisis, Mbue had to start over from scratch—and that led to her sitting down to write her debut novel. A resident of the United States for over a decade, she lives in New York City with her husband and children. (Adapted from the publisher.)
