Half of a Yellow Sun

Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. New York: Anchor Books, 2007.

This moving second book by this young award winning author (www.l3.ulg.ac.be/adichie/) describes the lives of five characters during the years before and during the Biafran war, illuminating an important period in African history. While only two of the five characters are women, the fact that a woman’s perspective is presented is notable and makes this beautifully written book even more powerful for the picture it provides of different perspectives on war and its wreckage for peoples lives. This talented writer has already won numerous prizes for her writing and was recently named a MacArthur Foundation Prize Fellow for 2008.

This book should be a MUST read book for anyone interested in a perspective of one who was in the middle of the war. Her first book, Purple Hibiscus was simply and gem. Half of a Yellow Sun is just absolutely brilliant.
