The Eye of Mayenga by Jaspher Rori
The Eye of Mayenga is a heart-throbbing novel centred in a remote, rural African village of Mayenga. The village is a lethargic place that appears to have been left behind with respect to world trends and realities. Its residents seem trapped in times gone, dwelling on beliefs like witchcraft and other archaic practices. There seems to be neither vision nor mission, and stuck in antiquated beliefs. Its residents' pastime is drinking cheap illicit liquor, and engaging in pessimistic village gossip, which presents its own challenges. Their own son, Vincent Senta, a practising lawyer in Nairobi, 'sees with his heart' the predicament of the village, and resolves to apply his knowledge, skills and connections to bring change to the village. He successfully organises a women's group and initiates an eye-catching water project, which some people appreciate and see him as the "Eye of Mayenga." However, petty gossip and a troubled family life take their toll on him. To escape the harsh reality, he finds solace in his sentimental secretary. The relationship is ill-fated with him testing HIV-positive of which he eventually dies. Despite the medical exposition on the cause of death, blame is squarely placed on his hard-to-understand neighbours who, due to their religious beliefs, lead lives of solitude. Most residents of Mayenga believe he has been bewitched by the neighbours. In a "revenge mission", the neighbours are burnt alive in broad daylight right in the presence of the local chief. Though rumours were rife that these neighbours carried the cross of Senta's death, nobody had answers to the chief's torrential questions: Who? When? Why? What? How? And what and in the future? And future? The Eye of Mayenga captures a community at a cross-road and illustrates the clash of cultures and the struggle between the past and modernity.
"The Eye of Mayenga is a wonderful piece of art that touches on many aspects of our lives. It tackles contemporary issues of the developing world undergoing social change.These are issues that offer challenges to development." - Elijah Ogoti, English Teacher, Kenya.
"Apart from being an excellent story to read, it is a commendable book for students in community development." - Joseph A. Awino, Lecturer, University of Nairobi, Kenya.
"Jaspher Rori's work is a pretty juicy, practical, and interesting story that is set in a traditional African society, and is interwoven with unique practical challenges, exciting themes and characters that leave the reader yearning for more." - Sakaja Yona, Lecturer, University of Nairobi.

Our Secret Campus Story
Nyambura, a young Kikuyu woman, and Rukiya, a devout Muslim from a coastal Swahili community, meet at the University, where diversity is celebrated but still governed by unspoken cultural and religious expectations. Their paths cross by chance, and they soon find themselves drawn to each other. What begins as an innocent friendship quickly deepens into something more profound, a bond neither of them expected.
Despite their different backgrounds, Nyambura and Rukiya find comfort and strength in each other’s presence. Nyambura is spirited, adventurous, and challenges traditional roles, while Rukiya is quiet, thoughtful, and deeply anchored in her faith. Yet, their differences only enhance their connection, a relationship that transcends mere friendship. Their love blossoms in secret, shielded from the judgmental gaze of society.
But as their relationship deepens, they begin to feel the weight of the expectations placed upon them. Nyambura’s Kikuyu family has always expected her to marry a man from their community, someone who would uphold tradition and continue their lineage. Rukiya’s Muslim faith, in particular, is strict in its stance on love and marriage, leaving little room for a relationship like theirs. Both families expect them to follow a conventional path, one that leaves no room for the bond they share.
They face immense pressure, not just from their families, but also from society at large, where their love is seen as an aberration. Can they dare to live authentically, even if it means losing everything they hold dear? Or will they succumb to the crushing expectations of their families, faith, and culture? Nyambura and Rukiya must confront these challenges, forced to decide whether their love is worth the fight in a world that demands conformity.
Their story is one of heart-wrenching choices: love versus duty, authenticity versus expectation, and the courage it takes to live against the grain. Will they risk everything for the chance to love freely, or will the pressures of society and family tear them apart?
Finding Love after Deception by Veron...
The Summary
This book explores how marriages and relationships can be profoundly affected by unexpected upheavals, particularly those stemming from deception. Fakeness and dishonesty are often difficult to detect during friendship, courtship, and even within established relationships. The central conflict arises when this deception leads to breakups and, in some tragic cases, contributes to emotional or physical illnesses that can result in death. However, the narrative also highlights stories of resilience, showcasing couples who overcome these challenges through open and mutual communication. Through their struggles and triumphs, the book illustrates that while deception can threaten the foundation of love, genuine dialogue can pave the way for healing and growth, allowing relationships to flourish.
Campus Diaries by J. B Omukangala
This is a bare tale of life on campus where many students finally get the chance to swim in freedom as adults. This book explores sexual relationships amongst students and between students and workers within or around the institutions.
For instance, Richi suddenly becomes a fearless philanderer after joining campus. He enters into many short relationships with the sole purpose of exploring girls sexually. He ends up marrying Kajuju, a woman who was just preying on him unaware that he was the real predator. However, he doesn't stop being a philanderer; he impregnates a first-year student at KIMC and vanishes. He also rekindles his illicit relationship with NyarSiaya, a married woman who was once his girlfriend on campus.
Some, like Bobo, are saved but also want to enjoy being laid regularly. Since serving two masters is difficult, they choose what is easier, exciting and enjoyable, thus leaving the altar for clubs and dingy rooms. This doesn’t have a happy ending as some of them end up pregnant, addicted to drugs or seriously heartbroken for having high expectations and being too ambitious.
The dating scene at campus is dominated by emotions, temporary excitements and curiosity to try new things. Therefore, peer pressure, material possessions and power play a significant role in deciding who dates who and for how long. In this case, one’s character is disregarded or overshadowed by power and material possessions.
Nonetheless, we have students who date with purpose and decorum and end up building families. Others, like Sammy wa Jesus, abstain from sexual relationships and focus on their studies and serving in church. This also pays off for those who genuinely choose to walk the path.
Campus Diaries is a mesmeric novel that will not only make you smile as you watch the characters in action, but will also get you onto several cliffs of pleasure and desires.
The Naked Shadow
The Naked Shadow is a story of political competition and machinations that underline the thirst and search for power. It is an exposé of the many dark forces of political intrigues and their devastating impact on the protagonists, the society and many innocent bystanders. In the fictitious country of its setting, The Naked Shadow exposes the play between political power, drug dealing and love affairs where see-saw-like swings in alignments seal the fate of many. Here mayors hold office at the pleasure of drug cartels as opponents hatch schemes (many of them evil) to win political authority. There is blackmail and murder. Amidst all this, there is suffering and no one is spared: family, children, and innocent lovers. Sadly the electorate remains a pawn in the ever-evolving chase board of ‘planned wickedness’.
What Others Say
“The uniqueness of this novel lies in postmodernist thought that the world is pervaded by confusion and humankind’s attempt to bring order in chaos remains an exercise in futility. The law, the state, and the police are just ‘organized immorality’ as Nietzsche claims and even the modernist insistence on reward for the ‘good’ and punishment for the ‘evil’ sometimes does not happen. In the novel, punishment and suffering also pursue the upright and noble given the muddled attributes of life.” – Andrew Nyongesa, PhD, author and scholar of literature
“The Naked Shadow exposes a gangster state (not unlike many in the world) that thrives on drug dealing, prostitution and murder through orchestrated eliminations in planned ‘see-saw’ revenge episodes among protagonists with collusions and making love in the mix. ” – Matunda Nyanchama, PhD, Publisher and IT Consultant.
