Praise for Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’sHalf of a Yellow Sun
“At once historical and eerily current…. Like Nadine Gordimer, [Adichie] likes to position her characters at crossroads where public and private allegiances threaten to collide…. [Half of a Yellow Sun] speaks through history to our war-racked age.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Destined to become a classic…. This book confirms the notion that if you want to understand a country’s soul, read its fiction.”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“[Half of a Yellow Sun] is Tolstoyan in its grasp of history and in its ability to traverse various ends of the social spectrum from a village manservant to the daughter of wealthy bureaucrats.”

—The Times (London)
“Engrossing…. In its deeply insightful portrayal of one of Ni geria’s most traumatic epochs, Adichie’s novel affirms a differ ent kind of historical ‘truth’—not the facile truth of facts, figures, and dates—but the deeper truth of throbbing, lived experience.”
—The Nation
“Adichie is part of a new generation revisiting the history that her parents survived. She brings to it a lucid intelligence and compassion, and a heartfelt plea for memory.”
—The Guardian (London)
