Über dieses Buch

Ntanya returns to his home village to reconcile with his dying father. His grandmother who cared for Ntanya and his brothers and sisters after the mother's death is happy to see him back, so do the children. Ntanya roams through the village to meet old friends and thus he shows up with James who was better in school and is now working for the government despite the controversies his work causes with the village elders. He visits a pub with his friend Mugia where he meets Teresa for the first time. The girl is supposed to be the mistress of an old man hiding his past in rumours. Teresa and Ntanya soon fell in love with each other but as long as Ntanya's father lies in his hut nothing could be done. The father isn't liked by most of the villagers and Ntanya doesn't want to fuel their reservations further. But that turns out to be especially difficult when the rainy season starts.
