on the plane from London I read

Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

It yanked me right in - even offered stiff competition to the views of Greenland's ice-fields and snowscapes, which no other book has ever done. The first thought in my mind when my time-zone-confused body woke me at 3am this morning, was: How does she do it so well? Write the complexities of human beings into the landscape of a nation's growing pains with all five senses?
