With her award-winning debut novel, Purple Hibiscus, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was heralded by the Washington Post Book World as the “21st century daughter” of Chinua Achebe. Now, in her masterly, haunting new novel, she recreates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra’s impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in Nigeria during the 1960s. With the effortless grace of a natural storyteller, Adichie weaves together the lives of five characters caught up in the extraordinary tumult of the decade. Fifteen-year-old Ugwu is houseboy to Odenigbo, a university professor who sends him to school, and in whose living room Ugwu hears voices full of revolutionary zeal. Odenigbo’s beautiful mistress, Olanna, a sociology teacher, is running away from her parents’ world of wealth and excess; Kainene, her urbane twin, is taking over their father’s business; and Kainene’s English lover, Richard, forms a bridge between their two worlds. As we follow these intertwined lives through a military coup, the Biafran secession and the subsequent war, Adichie brilliantly evokes the promise, and intimately, the devastating disappointments that marked this time and place. Epic, ambitious and triumphantly realized, Half of a Yellow Sun is a more powerful, dramatic and intensely emotional picture of modern Africa than any we have had before.

Why Do You Trouble This Woman?: Women and the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola Anne Arabome, SSS “One of the most engaging parts of Why Do You Trouble This Woman? is Anne Arabome’s imaginative reconstruction of Ignatius’s relationship to the many women in his life, and her voicing of their views of and advice for him.” —from the foreword “‘Women have played an integral and pivotal role in the life and spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola.’ With this simple but bold sentence, Sister Anne Arabome, a scholar and experienced practitioner of Ignatian spirituality, opens the riches of the Spiritual Exercises to women—and to men who love and care about women. One of the most remarkable parts of this beautiful book is the imaginative recreation of the lives of women who were important to St. Ignatius: women who nurtured him, taught him, befriended him, supported him, shared their spiritual lives with him, and prayed for him. A worthy successor to an earlier work, The Spiritual Exercises Reclaimed, Sister Arabome’s book is now a must-read for anyone—man or woman—interested in Ignatian spirituality.” —James Martin, SJ, author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything
