About this book
Nigeria in the 1960s: a twin sister drawn to a radical university lecturer, her cool-headed sibling in Lagos, a village boy working as a houseboy, and an English writer who cannot look away. When Biafra declares independence and war closes in, privilege dissolves into hunger, checkpoints and improvised courage. Adichie moves between these lives with unhurried intimacy, so that politics arrives through kitchens, love affairs and betrayals rather than speeches. The result is a long, immersive novel of loyalty tested past breaking point, tender in its detail and unsparing about what conflict does to ordinary devotion.
