Half Of A Yellow Sun	comment	Half of a Yellow Sun is a 2006 novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie which chronicles the Biafran war through five characters, three of whom narrate chapters of the story: Odenigbo, a professor with strong political views that lead to him being seen as a revolutionary, his wife Olanna, Ugwu, a village boy who stays in Olanna and Odenigbo's house as a servant, Olanna's Polar Opposite Twin sister Kainene, and Richard, an English writer who becomes Kainene's boyfriend. The book is split into four sections, two covering the characters' lives before the war and two covering their lives during it. These are not told in chronological order, but instead alternate the two time periods with each other (the first and third parts take place before the war, the second and fourth during it).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Half Of A Yellow Sun / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: Biafra loses the war, and millions die along the way. Odenigbo is disrespected by the authorities for being an intellectual, Ugwu can't fit into his old home anymore, and Kainene has disappeared and is presumably dead.
