| book description |

With effortless grace, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie illuminates in her second novel 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 professorâ€™s beautiful young mistress who has abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her loverâ€™s charm, and Richard, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olannaâ€™s wilful twin sister Kainene. These characters are pulled apart and thrown together in ways none of them imagined possible. Half of a Yellow Sun is an electrifying modern masterpiece about the ways in which love complicates everything.
