Wema, the book, is staged in Nairobi, covering the two extremes of affluence and poverty. From open sewers to expensive wines in Diani. From guns to holding hands under the moonlight. From leftover githeri to italian cuisines. It has a little bit of everything. Born of a slum criminal and a 16-year-old downtown twilight girl, Wema is quickly thrust into a life of uncertainty.
Mary and Omosh, Wema’s parents, are on a roll of bad decisions, which slowly entangles those around them. As Bethi, the bartender, and Terry, the kibanda owner, watch the drama from their establishments, Janet, Nalla and Bilal have to make Lemonade from the truckload of Lemons they are dealt.
How far is Mary willing to go to survive in the concrete jungle?
