When Perfection Becomes a Prison
What does it cost to be perfect? For fifteen-year-old Kambili Achike, perfection means speaking only when spoken to, earning top marks in every subject, and never questioning her father's rigid schedule. It means living in a sprawling mansion in Enugu, Nigeria, yet feeling suffocated by silence. Through Kambili's eyes, we enter a world where wealth and brutality coexist, where a man celebrated as a community hero terrorizes his own family behind closed doors. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's stunning debut captures the suffocating weight of domestic violence wrapped in religious devotion, set against Nigeria's turbulent political landscape of the 1990s. Before she became globally renowned for "Half of a Yellow Sun" and her viral TED talk, Adichie crafted this intimate portrait of a family's unraveling-a story so vivid and heartbreaking that Chinua Achebe himself declared she "came almost fully made" as a writer.
