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.
