From the award-winning author of "Purple Hibiscus" comes this masterly, haunting new novel, in which Adichie recreates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra's impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in Nigeria during the 1960s.
Shortlisted for the 2007 RNA Novel of the Year award, the author of the
bestselling SHIP OF BRIDES returns with a stunning and emotionally fulfilling
novel. Coming soon: a newly rejacketed edition of the 2007 novel Silver Bay by
Jojo Moyes, the bestselling author of Me Before You and two-time winner of the
RNA Novel of the Year award. Liza McCullen will never escape her past. But the
unspoilt beaches and tight-knit community of Silver Bay offer the freedom and
safety she craves - if not for herself, then for her young daughter, Hannah.
Until Mike Dormer arrives as a guest in her aunt's hotel, and the peace of
Silver Bay is shattered. The mild-mannered Englishman with his too-smart
clothes and disturbing eyes could destroy everything Liza has worked so hard
to protect: not only the family business and the bay that harbours her beloved
whales, but also her conviction that she will never love - never deserve to
love - again.
