SUMMARY:LitMinds: A Book Club at Gemini Ink
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Lit Minds Book Club. We’re reading Half of a Yellow Sun\, a novel by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.\nRegister\nNATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST • From the award-winning\, bestselling author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists—a haunting story of love and war. • Recipient of the Women’s Prize for Fiction “Winner of Winners” award. \nWith effortless grace\, celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie illuminates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra’s impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in southeastern Nigeria during the late 1960s. We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five unforgettable characters: Ugwu\, a thirteen-year-old houseboy who works for Odenigbo\, a university professor full of revolutionary zeal; Olanna\, the professor’s beautiful young mistress who has abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover’s charm; and Richard\, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna’s willful twin sister Kainene. \nHalf of a Yellow Sun is a tremendously evocative novel of the promise\, hope\, and disappointment of the Biafran war. \n\n \nChimamanda Ngozi Adichie (born September 15\, 1977\, Enugu\, Nigeria) is a Nigerian writer whose second novel\, Half of a Yellow Sun (2006)\, gained international acclaim for its depiction of the devastation caused by the Nigerian Civil War. Her novels\, short stories\, and nonfiction explore the intersections of identity. Learn more at www.chimamanda.com. \n
