Book Overview

by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o (Author)

"The River Between is ...a sensitive novel about the Kikuyu in the melting-pot that sometimes touches on the grandeur of tap-root simplicity. Waiyaki, valuing the old folk-strength and the new missionary teaching, is condemned by both factions for his traffic with the other, and faces the fate of those wise before their time. There is that rarity-an almost wordless love story that avoids pseudo-nobility while remaining proudly and distinctively African."- The Guardian

"It has rare qualities of restraint, intelligence and sensitivity."- Times Literary Supplement
