This remarkable and symbolic novel centers on Wariinga's tragedy and uses it to tell a story of contemporary Kenya.

More like a 7/10, but the themes (which are not at all subtle) really resonated with me and the ending is great, so I rounded it up to 4 stars. It's as didactic as everyone says, but its message is still important and it's also quite humorous in places. I also appreciate that Ngũgĩ focused on the particular experiences of women workers.
