During the early fifties, Kenya was a country in turmoil. While
Ngugi enjoys scouting trips, chess tournaments and reading about
Biggles at the prestigious Alliance School near Nairobi, things are
changing at home. He arrives back for his first visit since
starting school to find his house razed to the ground and the
entire village moved up the road closer to a guard checkpoint.
Later, his brother, Good Wallace, who fights for the rebels, is
captured by the British and taken to a concentration camp. Finally,
Ngugi himself comes into conflict with the forces of colonialism
when he is victimised by a police officer on a bus journey and
thrown in prison for six days. This fascinating memoir charts the
development of a significant voice in international literature, as
well as standing as a record of the struggles of a nation to free
itself.
