Award-winning Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has spoken for the first time since the passing on of her mother just a month ago. Narrating the sudden demise of her mother, the acclaimed writer through a social media post eulogised her late parents terming the sudden demise as unbearable grief.

"How does a heartbreak twice? To still be immersed in grief, barely breathing again, and then to be plunged callously back into a sorrow you cannot even articulate," she wrote.
