Half of a Yellow Sun is by far one of the most amazing books I have ever read.
Half of a Yellow Sun recants the events of the Biafran war in Nigeria through the eyes of Olanna, the daughter of Nigerian socialites, and through the eyes of her lover's houseboy, Ugwu . Written by newcomer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,the book opens a part of history often forgotten. Honestly, how many of you knew about the civil unrest in Nigeria not only today but between 1967-1970 when the book takes place? Exactly. This novel is a history lesson wrapped between the author's beautifully woven story of love, family and courage in the face of crisis.
