Book Review: Half of a Yellow Sun, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

This novel follows its characters through the formation of the nation of Biafra from Nigeria in 1967 and the three year civil war and famine that followed. I really enjoyed this book, it is really beautifully written and I learned a lot from it; this is a history that I knew very little about. Although the topic is fairly heavy duty, this book is a pleasure to read. The characters are very well drawn and I found it difficult to put the book down. I highly recommend this book.
