A review by emilyatmidnight
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

4.0

This book is a very personal and candid depiction of people struggling to both survive and live through war. It follows a political idealist and the people surrounding him before the establishment of Biafra, during the war, and after the fall of Biafra.
Books like this help us grasp the humanity of war, hate, destruction, starvation and, death.

Warning: lots of mature content (depiction of rape, blood and violence, and also frequent description of sexual relations and mastrabation)
