A Soul selects a unique Host
Poetry connects deeply with the spiritual aspects of our lives to invariably refresh and refuel us; to inspire and infuse enthusiasm, and ultimately prepare us to trod paths we previously considered unimaginable.

“Race doesn’t really exist for you [white people] because it has never been a barrier. Black folks don’t have that choice.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
My Comments. A few years ago when reading ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ I was immediately captivated by Adichie’s style of writing, creativity, and her profound ability to convey imagery to the reader. The book is available in both hardback and paperback (English).
Award. “Winner of the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction 2007, this is a heartbreaking, exquisitely written literary masterpiece”.
Review. “Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s masterpiece, winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction, is a novel about Africa in a wider sense: about the end of colonialism, ethnic allegiances, class and race – and about the ways in which love can complicate all of these things.”
A Story Unfolds. “Ugwu, a boy from a poor village, works as a houseboy for a university professor. Olanna, a young woman, has abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos to live with her charismatic new lover, the professor. And Richard, a shy English writer, is in thrall to Olanna’s enigmatic twin sister. As the horrific Biafran War engulfs them, they are thrown together and pulled apart in ways they had never imagined.”
