The breathtaking novel, "Purple Hibiscus" - Commonwealth Writers' Prize Winner was written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This novel is about two children living in an extremely religious Nigerian home, with their mother and their fanatical and oppressive Catholic father. Life with their father is seen as very difficult due to the way they are treated when things are not done his way. Her aunt Ifeoma invites them for a week, although they end up staying longer because her father encounters some political difficulties and that's when we see the negative impacts her father's behavior has had on her. “Purple Hibiscus” comes to life right before our eyes thanks to the writer's clever use of detailed observations that enhance her descriptions and the simplistic tone she uses to write. Kambilli's relationship with his father is indescribable in nature. Kambilli is shown as a very respectful child towards her father. It is also seen that he was also very afraid of his father. A clear representation of this is when she was so afraid of what her father would say and do to her when she didn't rank first on the school report. "I wanted to tell him that I came second so that he knew it immediately and recognized my failure." Kambilli also didn't know how to socialize and had no friends because he always needs to rush home after school. "Kevin had a lot of other chores to do for Dad and I wasn't allowed to keep him waiting. So I always ran away from class... Once Kevin told Dad that I had taken a few extra minutes, Dad slapped my right cheek and left in the same period" (p. 41) Kambilli also shows a clear adoration and admiration towards his father. "But then dad was different... middle of paper... he felt that they couldn't be normal people and he shows it when he goes to his aunt's house when he meets Father Amadi who at first seems strange to her "It almost seemed like sacrilege this boyish man in an open-necked T-shirt and jeans so faded that I couldn't tell if they were black or dark blue, like Daddy" because of the way he was dressed. the novel “Purple Hibiscus” by Kambilli The relationship with the father- Eugene has a negative impact on her life because he did not allow her to relate to her peers due to the limitations that her father's Catholic religion placed on her made her unable to love people who cared deeply for her like Father Amadi and her grandfather, Papa Nnkwu and also prevented her from being able to defend herself and speak for herself. The tone used for Kambilli's character allows her to be charismatic to the readers.
