The one I fell in love with immediately was Helon Habila's "Waiting For An Angel". I still feel that novel is a resource for the kind of movies Nigeria and I should get into making.

I understand your feeling about Purple Hibiscus... close to mine actually. Half of a Yellow Sun will redeem her in your opinion, I believe. And don't expect to be wowed by Everything Good will Come.... reads like a collection of stories packed into one, a collection that would have worked better in volumes.
