Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie wins the Orange Prize for Half of a Yellow Sun!
Ms. Adichie, from the website for her book.
Dewey over at The Hidden Side of a Leaf has interviewed me about my recent read, Half of a Yellow Sun. Coincidentally, I recently found out that Half‘s author won the Orange Prize for this book! She’s only 29 years old, so this makes her the youngest author ever to be awarded the Orange Prize, AND, I believe she is the first African to be awarded this honor. So, to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, I say, CONGRATULATIONS!

Before I noticed you’d captioned the photo, I was hoping everyone would think the gorgeous Ms Adichie was me! 😀

After I finish my current book, I hope to start on Half of a Yellow Sun. I’ve heard it is a great book. I’ll have to stop by Dewey’s site and read your interview when I’m done.

I have to roller blade over to Dewey’s blog to read your interview, J!!! And yes, Chimananda Adichie is so deserving of the “Orange Prize”….I can’t wait for her next offering!
