Author: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
About a time and place that was completely new to me - the brief state of Biafra in the late sixties, splintered from Nigeria. Fascinating characters and circumstances.
Interesting splitting of the narrative into four parts, 2 set during the civil war and 2 in the time leading up to it, but placed so the reader goes back, forward, back, and forward again. Lots of mystery created this way. Best part was how believably the characters loved and forgave and lived.
