Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I read this
When: February 2011 ( for the second time)
Why:Re Read as I am giving away 48 copies on World Book Night
Plot:The human side of the Biafrian War
What I thought: I love the way this book just tells the human story of war, the characters do things without them appearing to be heroic.  The book shows that normal human emotions, conflicts, likes, dislikes, wants and needs are the same in times of peace and war.  A moving story.
 10/10

  1. New to your blog and following.
    I found you by google searching for WBN events in my local area.

    I am not far from where you are.

    Would love to have been able to get to the event at BSE Waterstones tonight.

    Good luck for tonight.
