Blossoms of the Savannah

H. R. Ole Kulet's poignant novel, Blossoms of the Savannah, tells the story of two educated sisters, Taiyo and Resian, whose family relocates from the city to their traditional Nasila village. The sisters find themselves in a shocking cultural conflict, caught between their modern aspirations and the humiliating tribal customs of Female Gen-ital Mutilation (FGM) and forced early marriage. As their desperate father is ensnared by a corrupt extortionist, the girls must navigate a brutal labyrinth to escape their terrifying fate. The book is a powerful narrative of resilience, a struggle for empowerment, and a critique of outdated practices.
