One amazing specie of the contemporary breed of Nigerian female writers that rock my world is the brilliant and gracious Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.I first came across her on the page of some popular daily and for no fathomable reason,she stuck like a leech.Her debut novel,Purple Hibiscus which I am reading for the umpteenth time was reviewed on the column.Now,it is not as if I am usually aroused by book reviews et al but I found myself itching to grab a copy.When I finally wrapped my hands around the book,I was literally blown away.Not only by her excellent grammar but her power of narration which almost makes the character jump out of the pages.Her remarkable ability to create and heighten suspense and drama gives her seat among the very best.
Her second novel,Half of a Yellow Sun recently fetched Chimamanda the UK's Orange prize for fiction and it came with a cash prize of 30,000 pounds.The prize rewards her creative ability and proofs her talents are appreciated even outside the shores of Nigeria.Right now,you can conclude my adrenalin level is going wild as I prepare to read Half of a Yellow Sun.
Congratulations Chimamanda!
