Purple Hibiscus is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s debut novel. Its protagonist is Kambili, a teenaged girl who has always lived in fear of her father Eugene, who is a devout Christian and well-respected within his community, but has a marked violent, authoritarian streak. When Kambili and her brother Jaja spend time with their Aunty Ifeoma, they rediscover their Igbo roots and finally learn to stand up for themselves, with consequences that will change both of their lives forever.
