HALF OF A YELLOW SUN IS A LITERARY FORGERY A claim for copyright infringement has been made by Anne Giwa-Amu against Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Biyi Bandele and Harper Collins Publishers in relation to the literary work, Half of A Yellow Sun. Anne Giwa-Amu, a law graduate from the London School of Economics and Political Science, is demanding damages and an account of profit as a consequence of the infringement of her copyright in the literary work entitled ‘SADE’. In legal papers submitted to the Court, Ms Giwa-Amu alleged: “As a substantial amount of original material found in SADE, an earlier copyright work also appears in Half of A Yellow Sun a later work...Ms Adichie could not have included this by coincidence”. Ms Giwa-Amu alleged that in 1998 she sent a copy of her manuscript to Heinemann Educational Books Ltd, Nigeria. “Chinua Achebe, a writer linked to the Biafra propaganda effort, was the main decision maker on the Board of Directors at Heinemann”. Ms Giwa-Amu was informed that Chinua Achebe read and accepted SADE for publication for senior secondary school in Nigeria under the sub-title ‘SADE United We Stand’. Chinua Achebe later endorsed and promoted Half of A yellow Sun and one of his poems appears on the first page which would have entitled him to royalties from the sale of Half of A Yellow Sun. Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie and Biyi Bandele share the same literary agent, The Wylie Agency. During an interview with the Premium Times, Ms Adichie claimed that after the publication of her first novel, Purple Hibiscus, Chinua Achebe tried to arrange a meeting with her. Ms Adichie claims that after this communication she wrote Half of A Yellow Sun. Although Ms Adichie was not born until 1977 and did not experience the civil war, she claims to have written the novel after reading thirty-one books by other authors. In the legal papers, Ms Giwa-Amu alleged that Ms Adichie rewrote her novel SADE by copying the setting, structure, plot, language, themes, characterization, incidents, content, form, subject matter, supporting arguments and scenes. Ms Giwa-Amu has claimed that every incident from her literary work, SADE, has been reword and expanded upon to create a literary forgery Claim number CO1CF281 County Court at Cardiff, Cardiff Civil Justice Centre, 2 Park Street, Cardiff.

I am a french speaking so you will excuse my english. @ RR is UA-cam now Court of Law? Don't you know who and where to adress this? I've read Chimamanda book and went trough Google to know about your writer; please tell me if an insane madness love story and politic story are similar. In Chimamanda' Book, her main character has birth problems, but as per the synopsis down there yours wanted to tie up a man with pregnancy hummm Chimamanda book is 448 pages and yours is 250 pages lol Please stop this sabotage because it seems like egusi soup is dancing Shaku-shaku in your head! Synopsis of "Sade" by Anne Giwa-Amu A debut novel, in which the headstrong mixed race daughter of a Nigerian Supreme Court judge becomes emotionally entangled with an already engaged barrister. In an attempt to entice him into marriage, she falls pregnant, but her plan fails and she turns to the ancient African gods for help. Synopsis of "Half of a yellow sun" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie This highly anticipated novel from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is set in Nigeria during the 1960s, at the time of a vicious civil war in which a million people died and thousands were massacred in cold blood. The three main characters in the novel are swept up in the violence during these turbulent years. One is a young boy from a poor village who is employed at a university lecturer's house. The other is a young middle-class woman, Olanna, who has to confront the reality of the massacre of her relatives. And the third is a white man, a writer who lives in Nigeria for no clear reason, and who falls in love with Olanna's twin sister, a remote and enigmatic character. As these people's lives intersect, they have to question their own responses to the unfolding political events. This extraordinary novel is about Africa in a wider sense: about moral responsibility, about the end of colonialism, about ethnic allegiances, about class and race; and about the ways in which love can complicate all of these things.

if you wanted to promote your book you should've just done so without dragging someone's name in the mud because this is a complete turn off.
