Half of a Yellow Sun
The brief life of Biafra, told through a household rather than a battlefield.
Adichie’s novel follows twin sisters, a houseboy and an English expatriate through the Nigerian civil war and the brief life of Biafra. It is a war novel built from domestic detail, and it refuses to let a famine that the world watched on television become background.
