Beauty Olanna from a rich family never distinguished her audacity, like her two sister Kainen, but it was Olanna who decided to leave full comfort for love for love. Moving to a small town where her future husband lived and worked, a professor of local university, she was unlikely to understand that she was irrevocably changing her fate. The village boy UGVU, who entered the service in the professor’s house, also did not know that from now on his life would change irreversibly and unpredictably. The shy young Englishman Richard, who came to Nigeria to write a book, was not going to stay here at all. And the rebellious and spoiled by Kainen hardly thought that she would take responsibility for their fragile shoulders for the life of a huge number of people. But the war, which fell upon the country, not only barked the fate of people, but also changed them themselves, pulling out what was hiding behind a chip of civilization in ordinary life. Olanne, UGVA, Richard and all other heroes of the novel will have to go through the unthinkable horrors of the war, more than once facing the face with death and again find himself after terrible trials. The full tense drama of the novel "Half of the Yellow Sun" tells the stories of several people - stories that weaved in the most striking way. Readers called Adichi Roman "African" running behind the wind "", and British critics awarded him the prestigious Orange Prize
