Half of a Yellow Sun - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
In 1960s Nigeria, a country blighted by civil war, three lives intersect. Olanna, a young woman, has abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos to live with her charismatic new lover, the professor. Ugwu, a boy from a poor village, works as a houseboy for a university professor.
As the horrific Biafran War engulfs them, they are thrown together and pulled apart in ways they had never imagined. And Richard, a shy English writer, is in thrall to Olanna's enigmatic twin sister. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's masterpiece, winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction, is a novel about Africa in a wider sense: about the end of colonialism, ethnic allegiances, class and race - and about the ways in which love can complicate all of these things.
