Rated Dust 10/10

What a book. So ambitious, so full of hurt. Adhiambo unflinchingly faces the personal damage done when a nation is, as so many, born out of violence and nurtured in enforced secrecy. It’s language, poetic and fragmented is somewhat hard to penetrate, especially in the beginning (persevere!), but serves a unique vision on Kenya’s landscape and myths, its past and present. Not an easy read but ultimately rewarding.
