The Portuguese arrived in the 1490s and were driven out in the late 17th century. In 1890, Germany and Great Britain divided the region, with Great Britain taking the north and the Germans taking the south. The British established the East Africa Protectorate in 1895, which became a colony in 1920 and named Kenya after its highest mountain. Numerous political disputes between the colony and Great Britain subsequently led to the violent Mau Mau uprising that began in 1952 and finally led to the declaration of independence in 1963. And now there is also an Austrian in Kenya. That can't be a good sign! [more]

It has been some time. The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. And that's true too. The question I ask myself is: How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man? Have I gone far enough at my age? Wasn't I looking for happiness, looking for love? And from crying too many that her tears are still peeling on her eyelids? And if they tremble a little, it's because they see the silver watch age who purrs in the living room, who says YES, who says NO, who says: "I'm waiting for you"? [more]

John Mwangangi is an idealist. He turns his back on a successful legal career in London to return to his home in Migwani, a small, poor town in eastern Kenya. His ambition is to assist his country's development, to create a model that others might emulate. But in trying to rediscover his roots and his very identity, old tensions resurface and new battles have to be fought. John gradually finds himself isolated by irreconcilable demands, excluded from his own culture, never fully admitted to the one he adopts. His father seeks proof of his son's integrity and insists that John's daughter be initiated into adulthood, an act that John's wife would never sanction. And when the tensions force the family apart, John finds solace in the company of Janet Rowlandson, a young British volunteer teacher, who becomes more than a friend. It becomes clear that someone will try to force the issue. A Fool's Knot is a sensitive portrait of a man's attempt to reclaim his cultural identity and, at the same time, stimulate change. The contradictions he must confront in his campaign against the grinding poverty of his people lead almost inevitably to conflict. [more]

Every man's dream is to meet a woman with whom they will have a home. Women are the do-it-yourself as they can add to the success or failure of a marriage. Believe me, real men out there aren't that concerned about a lady's curve, figure, body, or the size of a lady's outfit. Instead, men look to other things that money can't improve. One word is enough for the wise. So, men, stop using money to attract women. Women who are after your money are not worth looking at. [more]

Mission is an African novel set in Kenya. Michael, a missionary priest in Kenya, has just killed Munyasya, a retired army officer. It might have been an accident, but Mulonzya, a politician resentful of the power of foreign churches, tries to exploit the tragedy for his own ends. Boniface, a young church worker, and his wife, Josephine, have just lost their child. They did not make it to the hospital in time, possibly because Michael made a detour to retrieve a letter from the Mission, a letter from Janet, a former volunteer teacher who was the priest's neighbour for two years. It is Munyasya who has the last laugh, however, when he reveals that he was probably in control of events all along. Thirty years on, the same characters find their lives still influenced by his memory. [more]
