as i m not able to find it easily...
Has anybody read "Purple Hibiscus"...?
'Purple Hibiscus' is by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie who also wrote 'Half Of A Yellow Sun'
'Purple Hibiscus' is about about a 14 year-old girl named Kambili growing up in a stifling Catholic household in Nigeria. The story pairs the collapse of the family's strong patriarch who frequently physically abuses his family alongside with the deterioration of the Nigerian society's infrastructure as it undergoes a military coup. Kambili is a very sheltered child who is incredibly insecure because of the repressive regimen her father forces her to follow. Yet, she is looked down upon by her peers and initially scorned by her outspoken cousin because she is viewed as a privileged snob. When she visits her aunt and cousins she learns how to assert herself and become a more independent individual.
'Half Of A Yellow Sun is about 13 year old Ugwu who is employed as a houseboy for a university professor full of revolutionary zeal. Olanna is the professor's beautiful mistress, who has abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos for a dusty university town and the charisma of her new lover. And Richard is a shy young Englishman in thrall to Olanna's twin sister, an enigmatic figure who refuses to belong to anyone. As Nigerian troops advance and they must run for their lives, their ideals are severely tested, as are their loyalties to one another.
As for finding them, as Colin G said, it is easy to do. Go on the websites he's given you and have a look at these as well:
