This is a sensitive retelling of the horrific violence that took place following the Kenyan elections of 2007. The story is narrated through the perspectives of a prominent family, together with their staff. In this debut novel, Wanjiru Koinange highlights the political and tribal environment of Kenya and explores themes of class, loss and corruption. A story well told.
