shorifabe 's review for:

Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
5.0

Woah, I wish I had read this book sooner. This beautifully written, heart-breaking novel, follows the lives of 3 characters Ugwu, Odenigbo and Olanna through the Nigerian Civil War. You see the characters transform hugely and some transformations are gut wrenching. I have learnt so much about Nigeria and I am ashamed to say I never knew much about the civil war. This book will stay with me and I encourage everyone to read it!! What was the worst part about this book is that it is so so relevant to what we are witnessing today in Palestine so it definitely hit me.
