What We Say: “Service95 Book Club's Monthly Read for August 2023, Half Of A Yellow Sun follows the lives of Ugwu, Olanna, Odenigbo, Kainene and Richard throughout the horrors of the Biafran War. With this novel, Ngozi Adichie is operating at the peak of her powers. Gripping, devastating and unputdownable“ – Katie Teehan

What They Say: “I look with awe and envy at this young woman from Africa who is recording the history of her country. She is fortunate – and we, her readers, are even luckier” – Edmund White
