Half of a Yellow Sun

When a nation fractures, love must fight to hold the pieces together.

In the charged years leading up to and through the Nigerian-Biafran war, the lives of three characters intertwine: Olanna, a woman of elegance and strength; Ugwu, a houseboy caught between innocence and brutality; and Richard, an English writer searching for belonging in a place not his own. Their stories collide in a world where politics, betrayal, and survival remake human bonds.

Adichie’s prose shimmers with beauty even as it pierces with pain, painting both the intimacy of kitchen-table love and the enormity of a nation in collapse. Against the backdrop of hunger, loss, and conflict, the novel never let's go of its beating heart: the resilience of hope, the tenderness of memory, and the courage to love in the shadow of devastation.

Half of a Yellow Sun is both an epic and an elegy, an exploration of history not as distant event but as lived experience, carried in the breath and bones of its characters.
