jfefleming 's review for:
Half of a Yellow Sun
by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
I was about halfway through Half of a Yellow Sun when I realised I knew almost nothing about Biafra and the war of 1967-70.
This book does an excellent job of bringing home experiences of civil war, and highlighting how even the most secure lives can be turned upside down in a moment.
In a world where a global pandemic is suddenly a reality, and where the effects of global climate change are being increasingly felt, that is more than a little scary.
My one criticism is that the pacing of the novel is rather variable. It felt that perhaps there was too much included, and some plot points were somewhat glossed over.
But overall, would recommend, as long as you aren't feeling to anxious about the world.
