Half of a Yellow Sun Chimanda Ngozi Adiche

This is one of the most thought provoking, moving books I have ever read.
The author has written, with great insight, about the war in Biafra, mainly through the eyes of one family and their immediate relationships with friends and servants.
It is a story of great love and loyalty for each other and for Biafra. There is betrayal at all levels but there is always hope.
Some of the scenes are unbelievably harrowing and shocking.
I learnt such a lot from this book.
