A wonderful novel "Zi Furong" - The winner of the Commonwealth Writers Awards was written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This novel is a crazy repressive father with two children living in highly religious Nigerian families, their mothers and their mothers. It is considered very difficult to live with his father. Her aunt, Ifeoma, invited them for a week 's visit - as their fathers had some political difficulties, they had to stay longer.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who received the 2007 Orange Prize (now the Bailey Women's Award), commented on purple hibiscus. Purple hibiscus was first published by Algonquin Books in 2003 and recently published by Narrative Landscape Press. Purple hibiscus was awarded the 2005 Commonwealth Writers Award in 28 languages. When I published it 14 years ago, I first read Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 's first novel "Purple Furong". I read the same again this year, the same feelings appeared on the surface again. Zi Furong talks about a seemingly ordinary Nigerian family that collapsed when the military regime of Nigeria took power. This story captures the struggle between the politically problematic Nigeria and the collapsed Achik family who faced both fighting and flower abuse.
