Rezension zu „Purple Hibiscus “
'Immensely powerful.' The Times 'An intoxicating story that is at once distinctly feminine, African and universal.' Observer 'There's a quiet confidence about the writing which is very attractive - it isn't showy, it isn't brash, but on the contrary both captivating and mature.' Margaret Forster 'A sensitive and touching story of a child exposed too early to religious intolerance and the uglier side of the Nigerian state.' J. M. Coetzee 'A beautifully judged account of the private intimate stirrings of a young girl...Adichie is a fresh new voice out of Africa.' Telegraph 'Political brutality and domestic violence, religion and witchcraft all merge with subtle force in this memorable novel. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie uses childhood innocence to write Nigerian history with the eye of a family insider.' Hugo Hamilton 'One of the finest debut novels of recent years...as punchy and characterful as Monica Ali's "Brick Lane".' Evening Standard 'Assured and evocative...a tale for our times.' Daily Mail 'Grips the reader from start to finish. I could not put it down.' Irish Times
