christinebriggs 's review for:

Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

---

I found myself researching the Nigerian civil war while reading this, and I am glad for a novel that makes me want to learn more about its contents. It was a slow start for me, but after the first 3 chapters I was truly invested in the characters and their experiences.
