A heartbreaking, exquisitely written masterpiece. One of the ten
books - novels, memoirs and one very unusual biography - that make
up our Matchbook Classics' series, a stunningly redesigned
collection of some of the best loved titles on our backlist. In
1960s Nigeria, three lives intersect. Ugwu, a boy from a poor
village, works as a houseboy for a university professor. Olanna has
abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos to live with her
charismatic lover, the professor. And Richard, a shy Englishman, is
in thrall to Olanna's enigmatic twin sister. As the horrific
Nigerian Civil War engulfs them, they are thrown together and
pulled apart in ways they had never imagined. Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie's masterpiece is a novel about the end of colonialism,
class and race - and about the ways in which love can complicate
all of these things.
