Description

Half of a Yellow Sun is a novel by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie published in 2006.

The book tells the story of the Biafran War through the viewpoint of the characters Olanna, Ugwu, and Richard.

Adichie interlaces together the lives of three characters swept up in the instability of the era.

Thirteen-year-old Ugwu works as a houseboy for a university professor. Olanna is the professor’s stunning mistress, who has left her life of freedom and comfort in Lagos for a grimy university town and the charm of her new lover.

And Richard is a shy young Englishman in subjection to Olanna’s twin sister who is an inexplicable person who refuses to belong to anyone.

As Nigerian troops spread and they must run for their lives, their morals are relentlessly tested, as are their devotion to one another.

Half of A Yellow Sun got several awards and was bestowed the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2007.

Sounds Of Joy (An Autobiography)

$8.00
SOUNDS OF JOY, the autobiography of Segun Akinlolu (Beautiful Nubia). A story of honest dreams come true; win over a restricting, inadequately organized climate; and triumph over negativism. A book that could rouse those in need of motion, encourage those seeking traction and breathe new life into those trapped in "dull spots". Spanning the first 34 years of the Artist's life, in more than 340 pages, it features the roots and conceivable outcomes of the Redeemable Mess called Nigeria and, with humor and happiness, pushes the reader towards individual and communal renewal.

We Should All Be Feminists

$4.00
The book - We Should All Be Feminists can be read as a preliminary to get women's liberation. While the writer shares her experiences of confronting gender-based discrimination and those of her loved ones in Nigeria, the issues introduced in the book are as yet general in the sense, individuals across the world can identify with them. The two aspects of the books that I have basically centered on in this review are: the stereotypical idea of feminism and the word feminist; and the process of normalization. Different issues talked about by the creator are: invisibilization, pay gap, raising young ladies and young men in an unexpected way, culture and gender.

My Command

$11.20
The author, one of Africa's most esteemed statesmen,a former head of state and president of Nigeria has also been a prolific author of books over the decades.  This was his first book, and from the initial publication, has remained very controversial. Sundry protagonists, critics et al seem to agree that the author hardly has a good word for other people, and apparently exaggerates his own deeds and "heroics".
