About this Event
Adichie’s powerful, sweeping novel is set in 1960s Nigeria, during the Civil War that claimed the lives of over a million people. We follow three characters - Ugwu, a houseboy for a university professor; Olanna the professor’s lover; and Richard, a writer who falls for Olanna’s enigmatic twin sister - as they are drawn together, swept up in the violence, and pushed to the limits of human endurance. Half of a Yellow Sun is both highly affective, compulsive reading, and also raises challenging questions about morality, class, race and colonialism. A transcendent novel that is required reading for our times.
