Purple Hibiscus


It's time again for Bookclub. I haven't had the chance to read anything for a while but this month I'm deeply moved by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's book Purple Hibiscus. It is written with such sensitivity, warmth and forgiveness that makes the main character's story an outstanding diary of an adolescent Nigerian girl growing up with a harshly religious father terrorising peaceful family life.
