This book is in my tbr, Bhavana, and I really want to read it. But stuck in a very busy schedule now. When do you plan to read it?

Purple Hibiscus
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Here is bit about the story...
Fifteen-year-old Kambili’s world is circumscribed by the high walls and frangipani trees of her family compound. Her wealthy Catholic father, under whose shadow Kambili lives, while generous and politically active in the community, is repressive and fanatically religious at home.
When Nigeria begins to fall apart under a military coup, Kambili’s father sends her and her brother away to stay with their aunt, a University professor, whose house is noisy and full of laughter. There, Kambili and her brother discover a life and love beyond the confines of their father’s authority. The visit will lift the silence from their world and, in time, give rise to devotion and defiance that reveal themselves in profound and unexpected ways.
This is a book about the promise of freedom; about the blurred lines between childhood and adulthood; between love and hatred, between the old gods and the new

1) Kafka on the shore by Haruki Murakami
2) American Gods by Neil Gaiman
