About the book

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun is set during the Nigerian Civil War and the short-lived Republic of Biafra in the late 1960s. The novel follows several interconnected characters whose relationships are transformed by political upheaval, violence and displacement. Adichie combines intimate family drama with a powerful account of war, colonial legacy, identity and survival. Ugwu is a young village boy who becomes a houseboy for Odenigbo, a university professor with strong political beliefs. Olanna's twin sister, Kainene, is a sharp and independent businesswoman who becomes involved with Richard, an English writer fascinated by Nigerian culture.
