Product details

The story centers on Waiyaki, a young man from Kameno who is prophesied to be a savior for his people. He attends a mission school to learn the white man's knowledge, hoping to use education as a bridge to unite the divided community and lead them to political freedom. His efforts are complicated by the conflict surrounding the traditional practice of female circumcision and his forbidden love for Nyambura, the daughter of the zealous Christian preacher Joshua.
