Purple Hibiscus is the moving first novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, set in a Nigeria of political and social conflicts. Young Kambili and her brother Jaja live a privileged life in Enugu, but their home is far from harmonious due to their father's religious fanaticism. When they visit their aunt Ifeoma, they discover a world of warmth, freedom, and love, which transforms their perspective and increases family tension upon returning home. This novel is a tender story about family ties, adolescent passion, and repression, transcending the Nigerian context to achieve a moving universality.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian writer, whose works include fiction, nonfiction, and lectures. She is widely recognised as a central figure in postcolonial feminist literature.
