About this listen

 From Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the Orange Prize-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun, come 12 dazzling stories in which she turns her penetrating eye on the ties that bind men and women, parents and children, Nigeria and the West. Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow and longing, this collection is a resounding confirmation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's prodigious storytelling powers.©2009 Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (P)2009 WF Howes Ltd Anthologies Anthologies & Short Stories Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction
