Half of a Yellow Sun

During Nigeria's 1960s Biafran struggle for independence, three lives intertwine: a houseboy, a professor's mistress, and an English writer, as they face moral challenges amid political turmoil.

We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five unforgettable Ugwu, a thirteen-year-old houseboy who works for Odenigbo, a university professor full of revolutionary zeal; Olanna, the professor’s beautiful young mistress who has abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover’s charm; and Richard, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna’s willful twin sister Kainene
