'A compelling novel about the tragedy of corrupting power, set in
post-independence Kenya...Ngugi writes with passion about every
form, shape and colour which power can take' Sunday Times After
decades of British rule Kenya has declared its independence, but
drought and poor harvests still govern the village of Ilmorog.
Undeterred, Munira, Karega, Wanja and Abdulla each move to Ilmorog
in search of a more provincial life, only to find themselves
suspects in a crime that signals a dark turning of the times. A
classic of modern African literature, Ngugi wa Thiong'o's damning
satire of politics and corruption in Kenya would prove the catalyst
for his imprisonment by the Kenyan government.
