ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie tells the story of Kambili, a young girl growing up in Nigeria under the strict rule of her devout Catholic father, Eugene. The novel explores themes of religion, family, and political instability in a post-colonial society. Kambili's life is controlled by her father's rigid beliefs, leading to an oppressive environment for her and her family. As the political climate in Nigeria becomes increasingly volatile, Kambili finds solace and a new perspective when she visits her aunt Ifeoma. This introduces her to different ways of thinking and acting. The family grapples with grief, and Kambili must find her own path in a world full of contradictions and challenges.
