Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

This extraordinary debut novel from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, author of ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’, is about the blurred lines between the old gods and the new, childhood and adulthood, love and hatred – the grey spaces in which truths are revealed and real life is lived. Purple Hibiscus is an exquisite novel about the emotional turmoil of adolescence, the powerful bonds of family, and the bright promise of freedom. In this house, noisy and full of laughter, she discovers life and love – and a terrible, bruising secret deep within her family. When they return home, tensions within the family escalate, and Kambili must find the strength to keep her loved ones together. When Nigeria is shaken by a military coup, Kambili’s father, involved mysteriously in the political crisis, sends her to live with her aunt. Her life is regulated by schedules: prayer, sleep, study, prayer. Against the backdrop of a failing military regime I wonder if there is a military regime which is not crumbling Purple Hibiscus is narrated by an adolescent Kambili, who is concealed by the high walls of her father's making. The limits of fifteen-year-old Kambili’s world are defined by the high walls of her family estate and the dictates of her fanatically religious father. In Purple Hibiscus, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie challenges this moral authority of ours.
