This book is the best Adichie has written IMO. Forget the plot. The messages on racism were rich and insightful
Romance just tagged along.
Sometimes, when i want to laugh, i open the page describing her father going from dressing corporate every morning to wearing singlet and tieing wrapper.
Some people wouldn't agree. I read where someone said he couldn't believe that after Ifemelu slept with three men(?), Obinze still left his marriage for her.
Emotional much.
Felt a notch myself but it was for the KIDS (Obinze's).
Couldnt care less about those morons making love look like Everest.
Emotional, probably. But not the way you think. I believe they're upset that Ifemelu was 'wayward.' African men much.
The kid was fine. Obinze was very present in her life and the wife was there too.
I dont want to go for confession next Saturday so i wont lie that the idea she was 'wayward' never crossed my mind :P
the women-must-stay-loyal while men-can-play POV installed in us is NAFDAC certified
i am just lucky to have sisters whose POVs i use in crosschecking and questioning myself.
for the kid, well, i dont want to imagine growing up without mommy and daddy's cohesive unit. Obinze's "performing marriage" wasnt much of it anyway.
The novel is too real it made a lot of Nigerian men angry. Chimamanda spelled out what they didn't want to hear. LOL
I'll read it again whenever I have the time. The prose is too fine.
haha... yeah sure
by a mile.
