Ngugi wa Thiong'o

The individual stories of characters both powerful and ordinary create a kaleidoscopic portrait of postcolonial Africa in the twentieth century, in a novel set in the Free Republic of Aburiria.

A great insight into African politics, social and religious beliefs. It’s a very log but entertaining book.
