Have you ever wanted to know what it was like to have everything but have nothing? Well, Purple Hibiscus is the book for you because it talks about a girl, Kambili, and how she lives a just okay life even though she has everything.
This is a book about a girl who lives in a rich family in Africa during the 1980’s to 90’s. Have you every wondered what it’s like to be rich, but not able to do what you want with the stuff you have because of your father? This girl is a girl who doesn’t know how to have fun because her father is a very strict person and makes everyone do it his way. This is what Kambili goes through everyday until her aunt comes over and takes Kambili to her house in another town. A quote from the story is, “They laugh so easily, even the little baby laughs thought Kambili.” She sees that they have more fun in life and they don’t worry about work or getting in trouble like her family does.
This is a non-fiction book about a girl living two lives. The setting of this book is in Africa, in a town and the compound of the house. Kambili is the youngest child of the family with two kids. She is a very nice girl and does everything that her father tells her. She is an African who lives a very good life because she is rich. She has a brother and a mother that watch out for each other because of the father and Kabili is afraid of her father. She also is a very smart girl but she is forced to be the best in everything.

What I learned in this book was that you can try to do everything everyone tells you to do, but sometimes you must do things your own way. This is one of the many moral lessons that you can learn from the book.
Purple Hibiscus is a good book and a great story of Africa. So, go and read it.
