Half of a Yellow Sun

• Joyce Carol Oates Half of a Yellow Sun Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie   Vividly written, thrumming with life, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun is a remarkable novel. In its compassionate intelligence as in its capacity for intimate portraiture, this novel is a worthy successor to such twentieth century classicsas Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart and V.S. Naipaul's A Bend in the River.

• Margaret Forster Half of a Yellow Sun Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie   I wasted the last fifty pages, reading them far too greedily and fast, because I couldn't bare to let go... It is a magnificent second novel - and can't fail to find the readership it deserves and demands.

• Chinua Achebe Half of a Yellow Sun Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie   We do not usually associate wisdom with beginners, but there is a new writer endowed with the gift of ancient storytellers. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie knows what is at stake, and what to do about it... She is fearless, or she would not have taken on the intimidating horror of Nigeria's civil war. Adichie came almost fully made.
