Purple Hibiscus: A Novel

Beautifully written...tragic story. My heartbreak only increased the more I read this one and not because the story is unfamiliar.... The complexities of growing up in a religious family combined with affluence during adolescence! It's a doozy.

I just adore her, and Purple Hibiscus exceeded my every expectation. Chimamanda is a master of character development! So much history, richness, and complexity in one intimate story. Might be the most memorable of all of her novels.

Refreshing. I love the contrast in characters that Adichie uses. This book reflects a side of Nigeria most people aren't aware of because their so hooked on the "poverty" in many African countries. An absolute read for anyone whom wants to stray away from the "12 years a slave" fever.

Very good! A little disturbing and uncomfortable but also powerful and tells a great story making you grateful for what you have and a loving, understanding family.

This book is very triggering, but it makes you truly think about some of the privileges that you may have had in life versus what some have had to deal with. As a victim of SA, MA, and EA, this book was far from what I expected.
