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.

Lie To Me

$13.50
Lie to me by Longrin Wetten is splendidly written, It catch impeccably, the exercises in a regular Nigerian university and transforms it into a wonderful romance story embedded with solid ethics. The creator takes us through recognizable scenes; the hot headed pursue of a man yearning for a lady, the woman's determination and defenses, and afterward the much anticipated breaking point. It is a turned labyrinth of betrayal, falsehoods, allegations and a tragic horrifying demise.

Fate of a Cockroach and Other Plays

$4.80
An intense parody of sorts on government, marriage, and psychology. Tawfiq al-Hakim is one of Egypts most famous playwright, and also one of its most important essayists and novelists. While reading the play there was a feeling of ambivalence towards the theme of the play. The play, although intense, will give you a calm feeling as if you are a kid reading your favorite story book.

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.

The Thing Around Your Neck

$4.00
Searing and profound, suffused with magnificence, distress, and yearning, these stories map, with Adichie's unique enthusiastic insight, the crash of two societies and the profoundly human battle to accommodate them. The Thing Around Your Neck is a resonating affirmation of the enormous scholarly powers of one of our most fundamental essayists.

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".
