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

3.0

3.5 stars.

Certainly an expansive novel, Half of a Yellow Sun focuses on a set of twins and their lovers and friends during the struggle for Biafran independence from 1967-1970. It tells of heartbreaking poverty and endemic violence amidst the waxing and waning of hope. Its a long book, and I wished for a stronger through line at certain points.
