Despite troubled times, Kenya moves on in hope, epitomised in this book, which can be read as a love story, a psychological thriller, or as an exploration into the interactions of people of different races.
Superstition and Christian faith clash.
And the stunning beauty of the country is a major character in itself.
Caroline, a privileged woman from the highlands, and Charles Ondiek, a farm labourer with dreams of Oxford, are caught in a drama of psychological terror fuelled by Mau Mau oath administrator, Mwangi.
Against the backdrop of Kenya’s beautiful but hostile desert, the curse is finally broken.
