THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION ‘WINNER OF WINNERS’
Winner of the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction 2007, this is a heartbreaking, exquisitely written literary masterpiece
Ugwu, a boy from a poor village, works as a houseboy for a university professor. Olanna, a young woman, has abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos to live with her charismatic new lover, the professor. And Richard, a shy English writer, is in thrall to Olanna’s enigmatic twin sister. As the horrific Biafran War engulfs them, they are thrown together and pulled apart in ways they had never imagined.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s masterpiece, winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction, is a novel about Africa in a wider sense: about the end of colonialism, ethnic allegiances, class and race – and about the ways in which love can complicate all of these things.

I wasn't able to finish, had to stop when killing and tortures started. I wish I had enough strength as first 5 hrs were amazing. Beautiful writing and telling me a lot about Nigeria and colonialism. Lector made the book even better if it is possible.

Prachtig! Veelzijdige perspectieven die je meenemen in het Biafra tijdperk van Nigeria. De overrompelende gelaagdheid van het boek is er intrigerend.

I've read the paper copy before, and really enjoyed it. Zainab Jah's brilliant reading is making the experience of the book so much better. Best audiobook ever.
