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.

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.

Love it! Will always recommend. The writing is pure and gentle that the story doesn't read as tragic as it really is. Read it in high school for literature and it has always stayed with me
