Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - Half a Yellow Sun (2nd Hand Paperback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780007506071
Synopsis
Subtitled : Divided by War. United by Love.
This is a heartbreaking, exquisitely written literary masterpiece. Now a major film starring Thandie Newton and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
A masterly, haunting novel from a writer heralded by The Washington Post Book World as the 21st-century daughter of Chinua Achebe, ”Half of a Yellow Sun" recreates a seminal moment in modern African history : Biafra’s impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in Nigeria, and the chilling violence that followed.
Published in 2006, Half of A Yellow Sun garnered numerous accolades and was awarded the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2007.
With astonishing empathy and the effortless grace of a natural storyteller, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie weaves together the lives of three characters swept up in the turbulence of the decade.
