Description

Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche tells the evocative story of 15-year old Kambili’s life growing up in Nigeria right through a military coup.

This set text for AQA GCSE is a perfect reader for any Key Stage 4 classroom.

The limits of fifteen-year-old Kambili’s world are defined by the high walls of her circle of relatives estate and the dictates of her repressive father. Her life is regulated by schedules: prayer, sleep, study, and more prayer. When Nigeria begins to fall apart right through a military coup, Kambili’s father is involved mysteriously within the political crisis, even as Kambili and her brother are sent away to live with their aunt. On this house, stuffed with energy and laughter, Kambili discovers life and love – and a terrible, bruising secret deep within her circle of relatives.

Centring at the promise of freedom and the pain and exhilaration of adolescence, Purple Hibiscus is the abnormal debut of a Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the prize-winning creator of Half of a Yellow Sun.
