Amazing, absorbing, riveting! This first novel by Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a coming-of-age story of 15-year-old Kambili who sees her family disintegrate into violence, confusion, and ultimate sacrifice. It deftly weaves the personal and political to reveal the insidious reach of colonial influence. This book will grab your attention from page 1.
