The great Kenyan writer's powerful first novel
Two brothers, Njoroge and Kamau, stand on a garbage heap and look
into their futures: Njoroge is to attend school, while Kamau will
train to be a carpenter. But this is Kenya, and the times are
against them: In the forests, the Mau Mau is waging war against the
white government, and the two brothers and their family need to
decide where their loyalties lie. For the practical Kamau, the
choice is simple, but for Njoroge the scholar, the dream of
progress through learning is a hard one to give up.
First published in 1964, "Weep Not, Child" is a moving novel
about the effects of the infamous Mau Mau uprising on the lives of
ordinary men and women, and on one family in particular.
