Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie attends Shanghai Book Fair, Gives Public Lecture

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was a guest speaker at the just concluded Shanghai Book Fair in China and judging from the photos she posted about the event on social media, we can say it was quite a success.

The brilliant author who has all three of her novels (Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun, and Americanah), translated to Chinese, looked really graceful in a lovely purple ankara gown as she delivered her lecture.

She also wore a beautiful blue flip dress as she happily signed her books for fans and met with black students in China.
