One is a young boy from a poor village who is employed at a university lecturer's house. The other is a young middle-class woman, Olanna, who has to confront the reality of the massacre of her relatives. And the third is a white man, a writer who lives in Nigeria for no clear reason, and who falls in love with Olanna's twin sister, a remote and enigmatic character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs these people's lives intersect, they have to question their own responses to the unfolding political events. This extraordinary novel is about Africa in a wider sense: about moral responsibility, about the end of colonialism, about ethnic allegiances, about class and race; and about the ways in which love can complicate all of these things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Chimamanda+Ngozi+Adichie\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eChimamanda Ngozi Adichie\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377023107235,"sku":"9780008329662","price":230.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780008329662_78448be5-ddd6-4634-81b2-0f5b232021ee.jpg?v=1776449298","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780008329662","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
