Read a book from each country discussion

Can anyone recommend books re Kenya ( fiction an non fiction) for a friend going to live there.
Know about James Fox 'White Mischief'. Interested in Kenyan authors

Ngugi wa Thiong'o is probably the most celebrated Kenyan novelist. Maybe check out "Devil on the Cross" or "Petals of Blood"??

Just finished a recent Ngugi wa Thiong'o-- The Wizard of the Crow. I absolutely loved it. I've read a couple of his other books, but would really like to get Devil on the Cross. Isn't that the one that he wrote on a roll of toilet paper while jailed for his political beliefs?

I'm putting the Wagari Maathai book on my list too. I have the children's book.

Thanks for those. Friend in Kenya for 9 months now and has a new baby so will either have had little time to read or will have found some interesting books! Will feed back.

I'm almost positive Devil on the Cross is the one he wrote on toilet paper. I read it a few years ago and absolutely loved it. I would totally recommend it.

Unbowed is a memoir by Kenyan environmental activist and politician Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel prize; a powerful story of struggle, bravery and determination. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review
