A Novel

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

This captivating novel follows the lives of two siblings living a privileged life in Nigeria. Their father, a respected and religious man, is tyrannical at home, making their seemingly perfect life suffocating. As political turmoil spreads, they escape to their aunt's home, discovering a world beyond their father's control. Upon their return, tensions rise, and it's up to the protagonist to keep their family together. Purple Hibiscus illuminates the struggles of adolescence, the strength of family bonds, and the hope for freedom.
