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.

so true about Chimamanda, I got hooked, too. I haven't read last plane from uli, but I've read Emeka, also by Forsythe.

Good to have you on board. I guess it's high time we started Chimamanda's fans club, lol. Looking for Fredrick Forsyth's Emeka right now. Thanks.

calliope:
so are you implying her name played a distinctive role than the character? cos kainene is translated looking up to GOD, cant really reconile the function her name played in expressing the character and for th record i understand d Ibo language and its cosmology

Not sure if cryptic was the right word . But Kainene literally translates to let's be/keep looking
