A review by sumsunalli
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
4.0
If you like historical fiction, this book is absolutely for you.
What a beautiful recount of the history of Biafra; a country that existed separate of Nigeria for a small glimpse of time. Adichi so effortlessly describes the people and the raids and the war of that time period in a way that almost makes you feel like you could have been there experiencing it, too.
I would give it 5 stars but my only hang up is that we get a little caught up in the romances and the side stories of some of the main characters. Didn’t love the romance. But I still think this is a solid, solid book.
