Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's remarkable novel set during the Nigeria-Biafra War of the late 1960s, dramatised by Janice Okoh.

Sisters Olanna and Kainene, daughters of a "nouveau riche" tribal chief turned businessman and part of the Igbo elite; Olanna's lover Odenigbo, a revolutionary university professor; Richard, a British writer in love with Kainene; and Ugwu a young man employed as a houseboy for Odenigbo all have their lives drastically changed as they become swept up in the brutal civil war.

A powerful, compassionate depiction of the human tragedy of those caught up in Biafra's impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic and the chilling violence and trauma that followed.
