If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?
If I could be a character from a book, I would be Ifemelu from the Americanah novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Her independent spirit and true nature are mesmerizing. Despite the hurdles she passed through when she moved from Nigeria to America to continue her studies because of the incessant strikes in Nigeria, she chose to be her real self, not minding what people say about her.
I must confess, this was one of the best books I have ever read, and will still read it because I read it every year.
