Place of Cool Waters by Ndirangu Gith...
When Jude Wilson decides to travel halfway across the world to visit the graves of his childhood Boy Scout heroes, he unwittingly signs up for a lot more than he imagined. Growing up in the placid little Pacific Northwest town of Clarksville could never adequately prepare him for what he encounters in the vibrant, mercurial streets of Nairobi, where context defines meaning and words alone are not always sufficient to communicate across a cultural gap.
He meets Qadir Mohamed—the affable manager at the youth hostel where he is staying—and a valuable friendship develops between two people from disparate backgrounds with seemingly little in common.
In Kenya, the past is never far away, though it is sometimes remembered differently by insiders. As a result, the unexamined triumphal legends from Jude’s scouting days begin to unravel in the face of new discoveries. It is, however, a disastrous taxi ride and ensuing case of mistaken identity that emerge as the defining moments of this life-changing trip, leading him to stumble upon truths about himself that he was previously unaware of.
Heart of Surrender by Bosibori Bogonko
The story of Hannah is in many ways our story. From beginning to end the characters honor their part in bringing alive the heart-wrenching decisions that we sometimes have to make when life throws us a curveball. What is it that takes us through those moments?
Regardless of the situations we go through, how do we arise and come out better and stronger, clearer about who we are? How do we honor our truth regardless of the circumstances?
Heart of Surrender subtly reminds us that we are not in control, and when we let go, there is greater power within us that enables us to rise beyond the most challenging circumstances. The bonus is finding our authentic self, living our truth, and above reproach.
Simply told, Heart of Surrender calls us to self-reflect on our journeys, then like the eagle choose to die slowly, or go through the painful process of renewing ourselves at different chapters of our lives.

Footprints in the Sand by Stanley Gaz...
A train is huffing and puffing across the Kenyan landscape. It looks like something out of the early colonial era, but inside it is fitted with everything a modern passenger could wish for. Aboard are people from all corners of the nation and walks of life.
They have traversed radically different paths to get here: worked in the gloomy warehouses of Nairobi’s industrial districts, made drug deals in the foothills of the country’s mountains, migrated from their upcountry villages to the city. Their stories are entangled with those of the people who were not fortunate enough to win a ticket – mothers and fathers, street hustlers and gangsters, generous strangers and mysterious lovers.
Footprints in Sand is a story of Kenya at the turn of the millennium, about crime and corruption, hope and ambition, pasts that its people try to leave behind and the future for which they wait. This novel, long in the making, is a modern Kenyan epic that travels along forking paths and between genres and modes of storytelling. It is an indictment of postcolonial greed, a crime novel without a villain and a fairy-tale about enchanted objects and dangerous encounters.
A Marriage of Dolls by JB Omukangala
A Marriage of Dolls is a hilarious account of events that happen in most families and marriages. 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
issues amicably.
The dramatic events in this book are rib-cracking and portray the partners as somewhat juvenile and crazy, hence the title.
The book also explores various cultural practices, beliefs and values
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.

It is a city of magic. An amorous city in which men and women love and hate. They scheme, plot, steal and even kill in Dar by night. They are hungry for money, sex, blood and power.

A Slice of Darkness for Breakfast ...
This anthology features some of Kenya’s freshest writing talents. It is a collection of stories that explore the dark corners of the human mind.
Some of the stories find something in those dark corners, grab it and drag it out as it thrashes like fish on a hook.
Others find something unfathomable lurking in the dark and come out screaming. Yet some tales shine the light on the dark crevices and what we behold knocks us back or takes our breath away.
Whichever way you slice it, these stories will have a lasting impact on you, er, your breakfast.

When a whistle blower gives her the chance to bring Ndegwa down, Anna takes him on again despite her fear. The resulting drama moves quickly through the streets of Nairobi, the port of Mombasa, the Indian Ocean and ultimately into the wilderness of Tsavo East National Park where Anna faces her greatest test.
An elephant rescued from the wild after poachers killed its mother holds the key to Anna’s survival. Can she be saved before it’s too late? A final heart-breaking twist ends this fast-paced thriller that you won’t want to put down for even one minute.

Bile on my Smile
Bile on My Smile is a collection of poems authored by the youngest and most brilliant poet in Kenya. Its motivation seems to largely emanate from the poet’s childhood experiences: meditations, self-hate, self-denial, trauma, frustrations, disappointments, and failed ambitions. Reading through the poems the reader feels like being in a dark room with an invisible body that is experiencing anguish and trauma, haunted by invisible ghosts and spirits.
Here is What Other’s Say
Jepkorir Koech’s collection of poems Bile on My Smile vibrates with enthusiasm and valour. The poet ventures into beaten paths as well unbeaten ones in her bid to touch the instinct and intellect of her reader. Utilisation, preservation and conservation of nature for collective good certainly come out as a well-thought-out theme. This, added to philosophical concepts love, beauty, death, truth, betrayal, loss and freedom, reflects deeply on the poet’s concern for humanity’s most salient issue today: Destruction of nature and impending attendant catastrophes! The poems are a promise of hope for humanity. -Bwocha Nyagemi Bwocha, Kisii University.
