This book is excellent. It truly draws one in and gives a sense of realism and connectedness towards the characters and events in the story. Chimamanda did an amazing job of capturing realistic events that could have feasibly occurred during the Biafran war, and according to those who were around during it capturing emotions that did occur. She won the 12th Orange Broadband Prize for fiction earlier this year, which is a great tribute to her as a writer and to Nigeria by association.zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007248300444097018noreply@blogger.com
