520 _aStunning. Like all fine storytellers, she leaves us wanting more The Times From the author of the bestselling Half of a Yellow Sun and Purple Hibiscus come twelve brilliant new stories. Of motherhood and mistresses; love and dislocation; violence and faith; the moments of everyday epiphany that illuminate the beauty and desperation of ordinary lives. A remarkable collection combining Adichie's poise, assurance and coolly understated style. The perfect riposte to anyone who believes short stories can't be every bit as involving as novels Daily Mail The writing throughout the book has a verve that propels you forward through the pages. And a pervasive, lightly mocking intelligence gives the whole thing a lively, satirical edge Guardian A powerful writer, moving with disquieting ease from humour to horror, and anger to tenderness.
