”Here is a new writer endowed with the gift of ancient storytellers.”  -  Chinua Achebe

With the effortless grace of a natural storyteller, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie weaves together the lives of five characters caught up in the extraordinary tumult of the decade. As we follow these intertwined lives through a military coup, the Biafran secession and the subsequent war, Adichie brilliantly evokes the promise, and intimately, the devastating disappointments that marked this time and place. 

"Vividly written, thrumming with life… a remarkable novel. In its compassionate intelligence as in its capacity for intimate portraiture, this novel is a worthy successor to such twentieth-century classics as Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart' and V. S. Naipaul's 'A Bend in the River'."  -  Joyce Carol Oates

"[Deserves] a place alongside such works as Pat Barker's “Regeneration” trilogy and Helen Dunmore's depiction of the Leningrad blockade, “The Siege”... Adichie brings to history a lucid intelligence and compassion, and a heartfelt plea for memory."  -  The Guardian

Epic, ambitious and triumphantly realized, Half Of A Yellow Sun is a more powerful, dramatic and intensely emotional picture of modern Africa than any we have had before.
