Sweeping, moving, and impressive novel about the Nigerian Civil War, something I knew nothing about. The book follows 5 major characters (2 sisters, their lovers, and a servant) as they navigate the tumultous political waters of late 1960s Nigeria. While it's a long-ish novel, once you get into it, it flies by. This is only Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's second novel and she's not even 40 yet. She also wrote "Americanah" and "We Should All Be Feminists." This could be the "Things Fall Apart" of the new century.
