We'll discuss Chimamanda Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun.

Half of a Yellow Sun is a novel set during a seminal moment in modern African history--the struggle to establish an independent republic in Nigeria and the violence that followed. It is a novel about class and race as its characters confront moral responsibility and ethnic allegiances in the context of the end of colonialism.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received her Master of Arts in African History at Yale and also an honorary doctorate. She has received many literary awards and a 2008 MacArthur Foundation fellowship. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) won several awards including the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction.

Our book club events are free and open to anyone in the Yale community (alums, students, faculty, staff, and family). We hope you'll join us!
