Hi Muneyi, thank you for visiting. I met Adichie before at a literary festival and she really impressed me in person, being well-spoken, articulate, humorous. I’ve only read Purple Hibiscus so far but I will surely read more of her books in the future!

I’m from Zimbabwe and teach Advanced Level Literature. I found in Purple Hibiscus effortless honesty that’s captivating. Discussions on this book make me appear very talkertive. I speak of Adichie as if she were my sister. Adichie must be very intelligent and observant. Humourously naughty as well.

Thanks for those two lists! I listened to the audio so I didn’t see those. How interesting!
