Purple Hibiscus

The book is in best condition, the pages are good and so is the cover. It is a delightful read. She is a contemporary African writer and her stories are engaging and intriguing. This is her first novel, and the characters of her story are intimidating. If you are looking to delve into African literature. She is the perfect author you would want to begin with. Also, her other book "Half of a yellow sun" is quite a read. Both her books evolve beautiful around the raw set of Igbo and the African essence is well potrait. *EXTRA* : If you like her writing, you might as well want to read "To sir, with love" by ER Braithwaite.

Great book, broadened my perspective

Une histoire d'une force extraordinaire. Cette auteure a décidément un talent fou et je recommande chaleureusement ce livre.

Cuando me leí Purple Hibiscus ya era conocedora de el resto de obras de Chimamanda Ngozi, no obstante, esta me sorprendiendo especialmente por su capacidad de trasladarte a la vida de los personajes, y sentir su sufrimiento y sus sentimientos como propios. La historia te cautiva desde el principio y muestra una desgarradora realidad que nos es totalmente ajena. Me ha encantado la evolución de todos los personajes, especialmente el de la protagonista Kambili y su descubrimiento de la vida más allá de las murallas de su acomodada vida. Una vez más, Chimamanda ha sido capaz de llegarme al corazón con uno de sus libros. Lectura 100% recomendada.

I enjoyed reading this book, even though the one character I wished I could slap some sense into. Beautifully written with developed characters.
