Half of a Yellow Sun

What an amazing book!!!! I picked it up for one of the most irrational reasons - I liked the look of the cover - and it's a decision I'll never regret. This is my first introduction to African writing and it completely had me hooked - for a person who was never interested in history, this has whetted my appetite for more such writing. A historical period woven into a dramatic, sensitive and emotional tale with an effortless style, a must buy for any book lover.
