Histoire
Adichie illuminates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra’s impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in southeastern Nigeria during the late 1960s. We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five unforgettable characters: Ugwu, a 13-year-old houseboy working for Odenigbo, a university professor full of revolutionary zeal; Olanna, the professor’s beautiful young mistress who's abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover’s charm; and Richard, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna’s willful twin sister Kainene.

In this moment, a peasant girl finds herself alone after her father is killed and her mother disappears. Young Beatrice must dare to enter the city to sell her family’s olive oil in order to survive, but also to search the streets and opium dens for her missing, grieving mother.

Then her husband comes downstairs with an announcement, and Anna is suddenly, shockingly alone. Reeling, desperate for distraction, Anna returns to the podcast.

Brandon P. Fleming grew up in an abusive home and was shuffled through school, his passing grades a nod to his skill on the basketball court, not his presence in the classroom. He turned to the streets and drug deals by 14, saved only by the dream of basketball stardom. When he suffered a career-ending injury during his first semester at a Division I school, he dropped out of college, toiling on an assembly line, until depression drove him to the edge. Miraculously, his life was spared. Returning to college, Fleming was determined to reinvent himself as a scholar.

Description
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a 2003 O Henry Prize winner, and was shortlisted for the 2002 Caine Prize for African Writing and the 2004 Orange Prize. In Purple Hibiscus, she recounts the story of a young Nigerian girl searching for freedom. Although her father is greatly respected within their community, 15-year-old Kambili knows a frighteningly strict and abusive side to this man. In many ways, she and her family lead a privileged life, but Kambili and her brother, Jaja, are often punished for failing to meet their father’s expectations. After visiting her aunt and cousins, Kambili dreams of being part of a loving family. But a military coup brings new tension to Nigeria and her home, and Kambili wonders if her dreams will ever be fulfilled. Adichie’s striking and poetic language reveals a land and a family full of strife, but fighting to survive. A rich narration by South African native Lisette Lecat perfectly complements this inspiring tale.

A very good story by a favoured author. Not as strong as Half of a Yellow Sun or Americanah, but still satisfying. The narration by Lisette Lecat is excellent.

This story reminds me of The Handmaid’s Tale. Some parts made me shudder and I still shudder when I think of them. Thoroughly enjoyed it even though it was horrifying at times.

I can see why this author is so highly spoken of. This was a stunning book. Insights into some aspects of life in Nigeria’s culture and politics, but more so into universal aspects of family, love, devotion, abuse, and how it all intertwines.

Spoons hard truths, like ice cream
Heavy with hard truths, things you know, when you hear them, are not just stories but lived experience. This is not a beach read. You’ll feel the piercing cold, like ice cream, straight up through your brain, but you want to eat it anyway. Or, you can just look away and get lost in the beautifully arranged words like flowers in a vase.

Excellent book!
This is an unforgettable book. The personal story told by a 15 year old girl is very disturbing, I guess as same as the political and economical situation in the country. The multi-faceted characters are very complex with their ambiguities, so it is not easy to like or totally dislike any of the main characters. The author provokes you to think about the book even after you finish the last page.
