The Perfect Nine: The Epic of Gĩkũyũ And Mũmbi by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o

adventurous reflective fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.5

Simple in the way that works drawing on oral tradition often are, but more complex below the surface! I always like the use of repetition, throw in a quest, trials to overcome, a sprawling journey rooted in the landscape of Kenya and some genuinely kick ass women and you've got a fun time!
