The novel points out various challenges faced by both men and women when choosing a life partner and humorously shows ups and downs in new marriages before the couple finally understands each other and learns to live together and solve their

among the Ameru, Luhya, Akamba, Maa and Agikuyu.
A Marriage of Dolls is the second part of Torn Between, which is the author’s first book.
