In 1967, most African nations were caught up in the euphoria of the independence movement that had recently swept the continent. But when Nigeria’s Igbo people declared their independence from the mother state, the country became one of the first in post-colonial Africa to go to war with itself. Half of a Yellow Sun is the masterful recounting of that divisive history, told by one of the brightest stars of African letters, Chimamanda Adichie. Herself a descendent of players in the Biafran war, Adichie tempers her personal compassion with a ruthless eye for the way history’s victims contribute to their own tragic ends.
I am glad with your piece of literature.I do take delight in reading books by African true state persons like you.Continue emancipating for the rights of the oppressed voices.
The world over has looked down upon us since memorable decades ago.It was only last year did they chew their words about our incompetence when one of the Sons of Africa made it to the Oval office.Hope you are bound to launch another book soon.What a true African Heroine.
