‘Every Story Is a Love Story’ is an examination of the life and culture of the Cameroonian diaspora.

Imbolo Mbue’s buoyant novel, “Every Story Is a Love Story,” begins with a letter. Wolo Lifafa, a Cameroonian immigrant living in the U.S., receives a request – almost a plea – from Victoria Snow, the woman who accidentally killed his wife, Yoma.
