I got the book on Friday, and am up to page 113. Its very good. However I do not see the point of the white character at all. I like to viisualise the scene whilst I am reading, and the thought of Olanna (who I have already pictured in my mind as a beautiful GODDES, BEING USED AS A EUROPEAN PLAY THING SICKENS ME), ILL KEEP READING ON.

My role Model

Raining so many praises on her, now, will not encourage the lady to improve her performance.

she's trying, but there's still a lot of work to be done. Some rough edges still need to be polished.

I really wouldnt compare her to Chinua Achebe at this time. However, others may.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie won Britain's Orange Prize for fiction by women, becoming the first African to take the award in its 12-year history.

She is beautiful and simply the best at what she does.
