Summary

With 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。 Half of a Yellow Sun is a tremendously evocative novel of the promise， hope， and disappointment of the Biafran war。

Note: I had the displeasure of finding out about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's particular brand of trans-exclusionary feminism shortly after finishing this book。 With that in mind， I will not be supporting her work in the future。 Trans women are women。 4。5 ⭐s。 I can definitely see why this is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's award-winning-est （is that a word？） work。 Not only did I enjoy this immensely just from a writing perspective - the characters， plot， world-building， symbolism， narrative devices， al Note: I had the displeasure of finding out about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's particular brand of trans-exclusionary feminism shortly after finishing this book。 With that in mind， I will not be supporting her work in the future。 Trans women are women。 4。5 ⭐s。 I can definitely see why this is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's award-winning-est （is that a word？） work。 Not only did I enjoy this immensely just from a writing perspective - the characters， plot， world-building， symbolism， narrative devices， all flawless - I also learned so much about an aspect of history that I was relatively clueless about up until this reading。 This book is unflinching， and subsequently has trigger warnings for just about every trigger on the books， but it is a very impactful， emotional， and educational read。 。。。more

Great read！ Enormously fascinating and breathtaking view of Nigerian history through the eyes of individuals struggling to fight for Biafrian nationalism in the 1960s。 Ngozi Adichie does a great job of delving into her characters lives and speaking certain truths to the world they inhabit。

This book was interesting and educational bringing to light a subject and time in history that most of us know little about。 Developing characters to tell a sad story of the Biafran War and the plight of those who both and lived and died during this time captured the reader's empathy and also makes us grateful for all that we have in our own lives。 The story was a human story。。。so it was a slow moving story and it was about war so there was no "happy ending" so it may not be for everyone。 But fo This book was interesting and educational bringing to light a subject and time in history that most of us know little about。 Developing characters to tell a sad story of the Biafran War and the plight of those who both and lived and died during this time captured the reader's empathy and also makes us grateful for all that we have in our own lives。 The story was a human story。。。so it was a slow moving story and it was about war so there was no "happy ending" so it may not be for everyone。 But for those who want to learn more about this time and country and its people。。。it will be an eye opener。 。。。more

I did not yet read this book， but listened to the audiobook！ I absolutely loved the narrator and am intrigued to read the whole book （this time in physical form） instead before I write a review。 After listening to it， I feel like a lot of important messages have been lost to me as I tend to drift away sometimes when listening to audiobooks。

A story about beautiful ordinary people。 About the changes war brings。 About a particular war but in a way， it could be any war。 A Brutal and gentle story。 I pray that I never have to live through any war。

Half of a Yellow Sun is an ambitious work of historical fiction that tells the story of the Nigerian civil war in the 1960's through the eyes of 5 characters。 It is well written and kept my attention。 I would highly recommend the audiobook （I read some of the book and listened to other parts。） and felt that the audiobook gave a more authentic feel。 As if you were listening to a Nigerian woman telling the story of these 5 people。 While the narrative was excellent， this is a difficult book to read Half of a Yellow Sun is an ambitious work of historical fiction that tells the story of the Nigerian civil war in the 1960's through the eyes of 5 characters。 It is well written and kept my attention。 I would highly recommend the audiobook （I read some of the book and listened to other parts。） and felt that the audiobook gave a more authentic feel。 As if you were listening to a Nigerian woman telling the story of these 5 people。 While the narrative was excellent， this is a difficult book to read。 The descriptions of the violence and starvation and rape were so stark that they were painful to read。 I had difficulty identifying with any of the main characters and only liked 2 of the 5。 All of the characters were complex and flawed and， as such， very real。 This is by no means a feel good book or beach read。 The characters may be fictional but the events are not。 That fact left me heartbroken for those who actually lived through this terrible chapter of history。 。。。more

I started out not liking this book。 I thought it felt rushed and underwritten。 However， I ended up really liking it and couldn’t wait to see how the character’s fared。Ugwu is a young house boy， running the house and looking after everyone。 He works for a professor and his partner Olanna。 Olanna has come from a wealthy background and is slumming it slightly with her lover， the professor。 Richard is a writer struggling to put a book together。 The story is set during the Biafran war in Africa。 The I started out not liking this book。 I thought it felt rushed and underwritten。 However， I ended up really liking it and couldn’t wait to see how the character’s fared。Ugwu is a young house boy， running the house and looking after everyone。 He works for a professor and his partner Olanna。 Olanna has come from a wealthy background and is slumming it slightly with her lover， the professor。 Richard is a writer struggling to put a book together。 The story is set during the Biafran war in Africa。 The characters all know each other， sometimes friendly， sometimes at odds， but the story is about how they carry on their lives， relationships and careers during this awful war。I loved the characters。 Sure they were all conflicting but at the end of the day they looked out for each other。 Even under the most challenging circumstances。 The book is well written and the description is terrifyingly graphic。 A little too graphic for me。 Sometimes I found myself coming out of the story， feeling repulsed。 However， these are the things that happened during this war and maybe we should know about it。I recommend this book as a deep and thought provoking read and it gets 4 stars from me for bringing to my attention The Biafran War。 。。。more

Fantastic read。 Beautifully written， captivating， moving， gripping。 Draws you in from the very start。 Highly recommended

I heard the version narrated by Zainab Jah。There were parts that felt too slow and uneventful， but maybe they were needed to establish the normalcy as a contrast to war， hunger and death。 I believe some of the characters will stay with me。

In Half of A Yellow Sun， Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie breathes life into the horrific civil war and bloody， violent secession of Biafra from Nigeria in the 1960s。 Through lifelike， intricately rendered characters and their overlapping storylines， the humanity， hopes， dreams and struggles of Biafrans become tangible and transform the hundreds of thousands that died tragically in the war from statistics into poignant human beings。 WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD！Themes such as the racist， dama In Half of A Yellow Sun， Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie breathes life into the horrific civil war and bloody， violent secession of Biafra from Nigeria in the 1960s。 Through lifelike， intricately rendered characters and their overlapping storylines， the humanity， hopes， dreams and struggles of Biafrans become tangible and transform the hundreds of thousands that died tragically in the war from statistics into poignant human beings。 WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD！Themes such as the racist， damaging Western stereotypes of African peoples and culture， the blurred lines of morality in wartime， and the controversial impacts of international development in Africa are explored in the novel through the disparate eyes of a diverse cast of characters。 There is Olanna， the well-to-do daughter of a rich Igbo family; Odenigbo， the revolutionary lecturer who holds dinner parties for his colleagues to discuss the Biafran war effort and the poisonous imperial powers; Ugwa， the domestic houseboy from a rural village serving Odenigbo until he is kidnapped and conscripted to serve in the Biafran army; Richard， the British expat that identifies more with Biafran culture than his own and becomes an essential tool for representing Biafra to the West; and Kainene， a savvy Igbo woman that runs a refugee center and trades with the army， embodying a position of cold， frank realism in the novel that acknowledges the corruption on both sides of the war。 A crucial scene in the book explores the tense interaction between Richard， a British expat living in Biafra since before the war that identifies as Biafran， and two racist American journalists who have come to visit the refugee camps for a Western expose。 The scene highlights the hypocrisy and racism inherent in the White Savior narrative， which crawls all over Western coverage of Africa and Biafra in particular， and the European hegemony of international development practices that perpetuate colonialism under the pretense of facilitating international aid to developing countries。 The following excerpt demonstrates this theme: “Thousands of Biafrans were dead， and this man wanted to know if there was anything new about one dead white man。 Richard would write about this， the rule of Western journalism: One hundred dead black people equal one dead white person，” （648， Adichie）。 This is a common rhetoric that saturates international development practices and foreign media coverage of humanitarian crises in the Global South to this day， and this book takes place in the 60s！ The character development of Richard from a pampered Englishman in a relationship with a racist English woman to a self-identifying Biafran and key contributor to the Biafran war effort through his writing that deliberately contradicts the racist Western narratives covering the civil war is a constant reminder to readers that Richard will always be a privileged outsider among the Biafrans because of his white skin and privilege。 Richard writes a novel about the war titled “The World Was Silent When We Died，” however， his lover Kainene is quick to remind Richard that he is not included in the ‘We’ because the British government can intervene and rescue Richard at any time， while the Biafrans are left to suffer without aid or empathy until they literally die。 For Richard， his status as a British colonizer is permanent and rigid as his pale skin， and the privilege that postcolonialist society affords him outcasts him and rightly so。 The acceptance of his position and the application of his soft power by using his ‘white voice’ to appeal for Biafra’s cause is a reimagining of international aid， albeit in a single actor that criticizes the racist attitudes and callousness of the West he came from and therefore must criticize himself。 Ultimately， Richard chooses not to finish the book， because the war is not his story to tell。tThe book rested heavily on my mind long after the closing chapter。 The ending was depressing and elegiac for both characters and readers。 Kainene went missing after trading across enemy lines for food and supplies， Ugwu’s lover was killed by a bomb， and all of the characters suffered from PTSD in the conclusion。 Adichie sugar coats nothing， sparing neither her characters or readers， and for that I am grateful。 In the author’s note， the Igbo phrase “agha ajoka” is coined， which translates into 'War is very ugly。' It is a brutally stark and accurate picture of the novel’s finality in capturing over a million Biafran deaths and missing family members that were never seen again。 The West could have done something to spare these beautiful， complicated people， but they stood by on the basis of race and colonialism。 And that is disgusting。 We must never forget。 。。。more
