There Once Lived a Girl Who Seduced Her Sister's Husband, and He Hanged Himself: Love Stories

I buy books from Amazon (generally used) or I head to the city to my favorite used bookstore. Where I live there are no good bookstores. I try to avoid the big bookstores, it's so impersonal.

I just got Half of a Yellow Sun in and started it yesterday. I've read her other works and find them to be wonderful. I really enjoy Adichie's writing. Hope you enjoy it!

[Sonali]

Melksham, I was so impressed with Half of a yellow sun and Adichie 's speech on TED that I bought Purple Hibiscus. John le Carre of course is an old favourite.
