The Thing Around Your Neck
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie · Fourth Estate (London) / Alfred A. Knopf (New York) · 2009
Sources indicate the UK Fourth Estate and US Knopf editions were published simultaneously in 2009 (a shared late-May release date), so neither can be reliably asserted as preceding the other. Treat both as the 2009 first edition and identify by imprint; do not claim clear UK priority.
