Award-winning Nigerian author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie will be having a virtual weekly reading of her 2006 novel Half of a Yellow Sun.
Announcing the news, the revered writer stated that the reading will hold every Friday from November 27 till December 31, beginning with chapters 1-6.

In March, Adichie denied claims of plagiarism made against her by Anne Giwa-Amu, a Welsh writer and lawyer.
In a Youtube video published on March 14, Giwa-Amu had accused Adichie of copying her novel Sade which was published in 1996 for her critically acclaimed novel Half of a Yellow Sun.
Just few days ago, Adichie was crowned the Women’s Prize for Fiction ‘Winner of Winners’ for the award-winning novel which tells the story of the Nigerian civil war.
Half of a Yellow Sun originally won the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2007, when it was then known as the Orange Prize.
