Based on the Nigerian- Biafran war (1967-1970). A part of history I was not familiar with. We learn of the brutality of war, acts of violence we can never imagine human beings capable of inflicting on one another. Yet it happened. We feel and learn of the hate, intolerance, responsibilities, love and hope through the 5 main characters. I wouldn't say that the characters are lovable or perfect, instead they are beautifully flawed and complex; human. I'm glad I picked up this book.  Chimamanda manages to capture the dualities of hate and love, dread and hope so eloquently in her writing. Story telling based on real life events at its best. 
This book is worthy of a 5 star rating.
