On the Nest Reading List: Half a Yellow Sun

 

Half of a Yellow Sun
by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie  

Through a brilliant blending of literary history and historical fiction, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “Half of A Yellow Sun” transports us to the social and political front lines of the Biafran War, as we follow three protagonists navigating – and surviving – the chaos and inter-personal breakdowns caused by civil war. Powerful and evocative, this book wraps up history in sweeping narrative, and provides a compelling education on the subject. A perfect book  to really dig into – I couldn’t put the book down and read it cover to cover in one (long!) sitting. – Annie Millican, Nest Director of Artisan Engagement
