As events unfold, compromises are forced, friendships are betrayed and loves are tested. This volume portrays several characters in a village whose intertwined lives are transformed by the Emergency in Kenya in 1952-1960. Following the village's arrangements for Uhuru (independence) Day, the novel's action is a series of stories within stories - myth interwoven with real life.
