Plenty thanks to St Croix Mami and others for the Unburnable big-up. I see you mention about the end... people does want to beat me up fuh dat but I think I give the reader a lot of power over what happens. Anyhow I'll continue to check back here for a while to see if anyone has specific questions and I'd be happy to answer them, or you can go to the contact page of my website at Marie-Elena John - Unburnable - Home and reach me that way.
And in case people prefer to see what I have to say vs. read it, this youtube link will take you to a video of an interview where I discuss some of the themes of the novel:

and also this recent post on the Caribbean Beat blog was a big thrill because Chimamanda Adichie is ONLY the hottest young literary wonder out there today, and she was kinda liking Unburnable a lot..
