Can. You handle her? She is a mass of intelligence and question the norms you enjoy as a man. You will.be a dead duck by the time she finish with you.

Go build yourself. Develop your brain power before you start looking for a woman close to her

Favolly:

Lol! Move on already

Emmahunk:


What difference would it really have made? The whole stuff was about Olanna after all.
Or what do you think?

EgusiSoup:



Her mum is igbo and her father is Yoruba. I knows her roots to the bottom. Do your research very well before arguing with people that knows their onions

She gave kainene a distinctive role, at d latter of the story, in a descriptive form.... Even tho Olanna is d protagonist of the whole story,
Why kill of Kainene character like Dat?
Gotten over it tho.. But she deserved a happy ending dats all I am saying.

Emmahunk:


I guess you are right but Kainene actually was not a very happy woman having had to share the man she loved so much with a sister she loved equally very much. Let's say, she can be likened to today's career woman who will rather bury herself in work or business rather than brood over the past.
By the way, the way you sound, it's clear that just like me, YOU can write on the return of Kainene. Yes, sure, we were not even told that she died. What if she had ran off with a Nigerian soldier to pay her man and sister back in their own coins? Like I said, you might be right. She sure deserved better.

Uhm.......... I wish I could actually give back life into her character, but I guess ADICHIE knew better.....
Seem you're a big fan of ADICHIE?

sarzy:
Seems she is getting this award mainly due to her role in feminism, and not the writing stuff. None of her books has yet to win the Booker Prize.

wackpoet:

Because the name Kainene is cryptic - in relation to the novel - Only those who understand Igbo can get it

Emmahunk:


Sure I am. After reading Purple Hibiscus, she got me hooked with half of a yellow sun. For someone like me that has read a lot of books on the Civil War including Fredrick Forsyth's 'last plane from Uli', Chimamanda told the story in such a different way that I didn't realize she was even talking about the war. She is not of this age and time.
Guess, you are a fan also. Welcome on board.
