Rinsing Mukamis Soul By Mcgrath, Njambi

Njambi McGrath, award winning author of Through the Leopard''s Gaze, delivers this stunning debut novel examining the validity of fury as response when a young Kenyan girl''s mistakes in first love are ruthlessly held against her by a paternalistic society.

Mukami is a young scholarship student at a prestigious boarding school. She has a clear path ahead of her, but a deceptive smile, a school expulsion and an impossible pregnancy see her well ordered life hurtling towards complete and utter disarray.

Facing disappointment from her family and finding that innocence is not a strong enough place from which to mount a defence, she declares revenge. This charged novel asks us to question why girls and women are often left to fight for justice from lonely places in societies that prefer them silenced.
