Officiellement l'œuvre la plus nuancée et attachante d'Adichie. Difficile à lire de par son contenu bouleversant, certes, mais absolument nécessaire. Vraiment un coup de coeur.

It is astonishing to know that this is a work of historical fiction. Wild that I did not learn of this conflict in school or anywhere. How like life to not nearly tie a bow on the end and leave so many things a mystery. I’m now left to wonder about Kainene and Baby and Richard and Ugwu and everyone. I marveled at how interwoven I became with this family. I began to talk back to the book, laughing at the situations and pleading with Ugwu not to disobey his madam. This is one of those stories that simply stays with you.

A strong novel about the impact of war on culture, class and identity and is narrated by three different people, who shine their light in the face of adversity. Despite the heavy matter of the topic, the Nigeran-Biafran War, Adichie writes accessibly and takes her reader by the hand.
