Fifteen-year-old Kambili lives a life of privilege in Enugu, Nigeria—shielded by wealth, cloaked in silence. But behind the marble walls of her home lies a world of religious tyranny and emotional repression. When she and her brother Jaja are sent to their aunt's vibrant, liberal household, they begin to taste freedom, truth, and the blooming of selfhood. Adichie's tender, searing debut explores the fractures of family and the resilience of spirit.
"A compelling narrative with a surprising punch at the end… Adichie's voice is earnest and unforgettable," praises Kirkus Reviews. Critics call it "captivating and deeply moving… a powerful meditation on faith, freedom, and the cost of silence."
