Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Set during the ardent Biafran-Nigerian independence struggle in the late 1960s, Half of Yellow Sun tells the story of Olanna, a soul-searching young woman, Richard, a shy Englishman and Ugwu, a thirteen-year old houseboy as they battle to stay alive and close to their loved ones during this blood-soaked, three year-war that left 3 million dead.
Heralded as the “21st century daughter of Chinua Achebe”, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a natural storyteller. Her vivid descriptions and enlightened insights on human relationships - white and black, coloniser and colonised, rich and poor, male and female - are reflected throughout the book and paint an unforgettable portrayal of a momentous point in Africa’s history.
