1.Half of a Yellow Sun by: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie January 15, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.28 You Save: £3.71 (46%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.34
It's not the sort of book I'd normally pick up - prize winning, political etc - but I was approached it with excitement after hearing good reviews from people I know. Although the story seemed promising, neither the characters or themes interested me and the only thing that kept me going was the fact I had to read it. I found the skipping back and forth through time confusing, and was a bit baffled by the numerous characters who melted into one another at points. It caused a bit of a stir at the book group I run due to its subject and some people loved it, but sadly i did not.

My sister recommended Purple Hibiscus to me sometime last year. However, I was reluctant to read the book because I was not sure that it could live up to Half a Yellow Sun, Adichie's other book. In hindsight, I was right. The novel is narrated by Kambili Achike, the fifteen-year old daughter of a wealthy Nigerian businessman. The book begins with a description of her family life: Her wealthy father, Eugene Achike, whom she called Papa, had made good in life. He had numerous factories and a newspaper, which took an uncompromising stand on the corruption of the ruling elite. To cap it all, he was a philanthropist par excellence, supporting many causes. Beneath the respectable veneer, however, all is not well. Her father, supporter ... Read More:

Fifteen year old Kambili and her brother Jaja are the children of a wealthy Nigerian business man, and they enjoy the benefits that their father's wealth provides. Their father is a well known and highly respected man who is not afraid to speak out against a corrupt and tyrannical government; he is caring of his employees and overly generous with his abundant riches. But at home their father reveals another side, he is a demanding and deeply religious man, perhaps fanatically so, and out of a misguided zeal imposes an oppressive rule over his family's life with occasionally brutality. He expects his children to succeed, and there is serious trouble if they do not. When Kambili and Jaja are invited to stay with their relatively poor aunt and cousins in Nsukka they ... Read More:
