Half of a Yellow Sun / Americanah / Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

5.0

This book is a sucker punch, by so incredibly powerful. I knew literally nothing about the Biafran movement and war in Nigeria in the 1960s. It is NOT an easy read, or a light read. It is powerful and moving and lyrical. It took me quite awhile to finish it, given how dense the subject matter is.

It’s my first 5 star book of the year.
