"The war isn't really my story to tell." But it was Ugwu's and Olanna's and Kainene's and Chimamanda's. I didn't know anything about Biafra or this time period in Nigeria. The time jumps threw me a bit and I might have preferred a chronological story line but the jumps did have the intended effects. Overall, an important read.
