THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION ‘WINNER OF WINNERS’ ‘A literary masterpiece’DAILY MAIL
‘An immense achievement’OBSERVER
‘A gorgeous, pitiless account of love, violence and betrayal’ TIME
In 1960s Nigeria, three lives intersect. Ugwu works as a houseboy for a university professor. Olanna has abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos to live with her charismatic lover, the lecturer. And Richard, a shy Englishman, is in thrall to Olanna’s enigmatic twin sister. Amongst the horror of Nigeria’s civil war, loyalties are tested as they are pulled apart and thrown together in ways none of them imagined.
Winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s masterpiece is a novel about race, class and the end of colonialism – and the ways in which love can complicate everything.
‘Vividly written, thrumming with life … a remarkable novel’ Joyce Carol Oates

‘Absolutely awesome. One of the best books I’ve ever read’ Judy Finnigan

I always wondered what happened to Biafra, remembered only for famine, dying children and life aid campaigns. I'm ashamed that it never came to me to learn more about it (the World not only was silent during the war, but also remained so). It's a tragic history marked by colonialism, exploitation, divide and conquer politics, and delusion of the native intelligentsia.Fascinatingly written, incredibly vocalized.Thank you Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Very well written book. It was hard to listen to because the subject is so tragic, but it's a beautiful book.

Çok çok güzel 1 kitap. Karakterler çok iyi, hikaye çok hüzünlü, anlatım çok güzel, seslendirme çok iyi. Bir yerde geçmişe donuldugunu kaçırdım ve kafam karıştı, aman dikkat.
