At a mall in Nairobi, a housewife follows the woman her husband has been cheating with, while gripping a knife. In Kangemi, congregants worship, but something sinister is brewing behind the praise. A girl walks along Moi Avenue, with the eerie feeling of being followed by her ex-lover. At the heart of these stories is something we all seek: love. How far will we go for it before we realize we may be approaching it the wrong way, or searching for it in the wrong place?
The stories in Imperfect Match are told in gripping, fast-paced prose—sometimes funny, sometimes sad—full of twists and turns. They hold up a mirror to our weaknesses, our strengths, and our resolve to keep moving forward despite it all.
