Half of a Yellow Sun By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Deep dive on Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel, Half of a Yellow Sun, which tells the story of the Biafran War through the experiences of three individuals: Ugwu, a young houseboy; Olanna, a university graduate; and Kainene, Olanna's twin sister. The novel explores the impact of the war on both ordinary people and intellectuals, and explores themes of love, loss, and survival. The sources also highlight the political context of the war, which began with the secession of the Igbo people of eastern Nigeria to form the independent nation of Biafra, and the resulting three-year civil war.
