HALF OF A YELLOW SUN - CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE...

A haunting story of love and war from "one of the world's great contemporary writers" (Barack
Obama)  the best-selling author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists.  With effortless
grace  celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie illuminates a seminal moment in modern
African history: Biafra's impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in
southeastern Nigeria during the late 1960s. We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five
unforgettable characters: Ugwu  a thirteen-year-old houseboy who works for Odenigbo  a
university professor full of revolutionary zeal  Olanna  the professor's beautiful young
mistress who has abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover's charm  and
Richard  a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna's willful twin sister Kainene. Half of a
Yellow Sun is a tremendously evocative novel of the promise  hope  and disappointment of the
Biafran war.
