The limits of fifteen-year-old Kambili's world are defined by the
high walls of her family estate and the dictates of her fanatically
religious father. Her life is regulated by schedules: prayer,
sleep, study, prayer. When Nigeria is shaken by a military coup,
Kambili's father, involved mysteriously in the political crisis,
sends her to live with her aunt. In this house, noisy and full of
laughter, she discovers life and love - and a terrible, bruising
secret deep within her family. This extraordinary debut novel from
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, author of 'Half of a Yellow Sun', is
about the blurred lines between the old gods and the new, childhood
and adulthood, love and hatred - the grey spaces in which truths
are revealed and real life is lived.
