THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION ‘WINNER OF WINNERS’ ‘A literary masterpiece’DAILY MAIL
‘An immense achievement’OBSERVER
‘A gorgeous, pitiless account of love, violence and betrayal’ TIME
In 1960s Nigeria, three lives intersect. Ugwu works as a houseboy for a university professor. Olanna has abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos to live with her charismatic lover, the lecturer. And Richard, a shy Englishman, is in thrall to Olanna’s enigmatic twin sister. Amongst the horror of Nigeria’s civil war, loyalties are tested as they are pulled apart and thrown together in ways none of them imagined.
Winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s masterpiece is a novel about race, class and the end of colonialism – and the ways in which love can complicate everything.
‘Vividly written, thrumming with life … a remarkable novel’ Joyce Carol Oates

I've read the paper copy before, and really enjoyed it. Zainab Jah's brilliant reading is making the experience of the book so much better. Best audiobook ever.

Jag fick fundera ordentligt innan jag satte betyg här. Jag tyckte inte om att höra/läsa den här boken. Blev alldeles för berörd. Samtidigt kunde jag inte sluta. Den visar krigets fasor, från den vanliga människans ögon. Våldtäkt, död, plundring. Hemsk. Men förmodligen viktigt att förstå. Bra uppläsare.

Orkade inte läsa klart. Det går lite för långsamt för min smak. Dock speglas en viktig och hemsk del av historien på ett tydligt sätt.
