Tittut! Chino gömmer sig bakom mammas sovsjal. Den är så len och mjuk och har så fina röda och blå cirklar. När mamma är på jobbet får sjalen följa med in i Chinos värld.

They live in a beautiful house, with a caring family, and attend an exclusive missionary school. They're completely shielded from the troubles of the world. Yet, as Kambili reveals in her tender-voiced account, things are less perfect than they appear. Although her Papa is generous and well respected, he is fanatically religious and tyrannical at home--a home that is silent and suffocating. As the country begins to fall apart under a military coup, Kambili and Jaja are sent to their aunt, a university professor outside the city, where they discover a life beyond the confines of their father's authority. Books cram the shelves, curry and nutmeg permeate the air, and their cousins' laughter rings throughout the house. When they return home, tensions within the family escalate, and Kambili must find the strength to keep her loved ones together. Purple Hibiscus is an exquisite novel about the emotional turmoil of adolescence, the powerful bonds of family, and the bright promise of freedom.

Maailmankirjallisuuden kärkinimen omakohtainen essee rakkaasta isästä, surevasta tyttärestä ja menetyksen kouristuksista. Yhdysvalloissa asuva tytär saa yhtäkkisen tiedon isänsä kuolemasta. Poikkeusaikojen vuoksi Nigeriaan ei kuitenkaan voi matkustaa - hautajaisia ei voida järjestää ja maailmalle levittäytynyt perhe joutuu suremaan etäisyyden päästä, puhelimen välityksellä. Suru valtaa mielen lisäksi myös ruumiin, se tuntuu särkynä lihaksissa ja painona rinnan päällä. Adichie kirjoittaa menetyksestään hellästi ja raivokkaasti. Hetkittäin lauseiden rakosista pulppuaa kuitenkin myös nauru, joka osoittautuu erottamattomaksi osaksi surua.

A personal and powerful essay on loss from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the bestselling author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun. 'Grief is a cruel kind of education. You learn how ungentle mourning can be, how full of anger. You learn how glib condolences can feel. You learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language' On 10 June 2020, the scholar James Nwoye Adichie died suddenly in Nigeria. In this tender and powerful essay, expanded from the original New Yorker text, his daughter, a self-confessed daddy's girl, remembers her beloved father. Notes on Grief is at once a tribute to a long life of grace and wisdom, the story of a daughter's fierce love for a parent, and a revealing examination of the layers of loss and the nature of grief.

Kambili är en tonårsflicka i Nigeria. Hon lever i ständig skräck för sin far. Han är aktiv i kyrkan och anses vara en mycket god man. Men i hemmet misshandlar han sin fru och slår sina barn. Lila hibiskus handlar om ideal som förblindar, starka familjeband och längtan efter frihet. Men det är också en historia om hur hopp och kärlek kan uppstå där man minst anar det. Yttre godhet som rymmer brutalitet, hopp som växer i våldsam vardag, en stark längtan efter frihet. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie är en av sin generations främsta afrikanska författare. Lila hibiskus från 2004 är hennes debutroman. Med En halv gul sol från 2007 fick Adichie sitt stora internationella genombrott. 2013 kom Americanah som hyllades och utsågs till en av det årets tio bästa böcker av New York Times. I dag finns Adichies böcker översatta till ett trettiotal språk. Hon delar sin tid mellan Nigeria och USA.” Americanah är en angelägen berättelse om samhällsstrukturer i förändring, människors lika värde och om kärleken som övervinner allt. ” Helene Ehriander, BTJ, om Americanah
