«Blauer Hibiskus» is the novel by Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, published by Fischer Taschenbuch in paperback (336 pages, in German).
Kambili, a fifteen-year-old Nigerian teenager, lives in a walled house among hibiscus with her family. Her father, a respected public figure, imposes a rigid religiosity and an all-dominating authoritarianism at home. While Nigeria experiences coups and unrest, the relationship with an aunt opens the door to another way of life and unravels the family order.
Adichie's first novel, originally published as «Purple Hibiscus» in 2003; this German edition, translated by Judith Schwaab, is the 9th in the Fischer Taschenbücher Allgemeine Reihe series.
An option for reading groups and for readers interested in contemporary African literature and coming-of-age novels.
