Post Body

Hi everyone, welcome to our third discussion of Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie! Today we are discussing from โ€˜Papa Nnukwu had woken up before anyone elseโ€™ - 'As he drove, we sang Igbo courses' (section 10-12).

Next week we will be discussing from โ€˜'The Green sign outside the church' to the end (section 13-end). Here are links to the schedule and the marginalia.

For a summary of the chapters, please see Course Hero. u/Desert480 helpfully provided this link to a glossary of Igbo words that you may find helpful.

Some historical context- Nwankiti Ogechi is based on the environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa. His murder resulted in Nigeria being suspended from the commonwealth.

Discussion questions are below, but feel free to add your own comments!
