Petals of Blood – Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o

R 55.00

A town transformed. Four lives entangled. The promises of independence put on trial.

In the Kenyan town of Ilmorog, a fatal fire draws suspicion towards four people whose histories reveal a community undergoing profound change. As their stories unfold, the investigation opens into a wider portrait of ambition, exploitation and the struggle to build a future in post-independence Kenya.

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o brings together personal disappointments and political tensions in a novel concerned with who benefits from progress, and who is left to bear its costs. Beneath the mystery lies a searching exploration of land, labour, power and resistance.

A rewarding choice for readers who enjoy politically engaged literary fiction, interwoven lives and stories that challenge easy answers about freedom and social change.

Perfect for fans of Chinua Achebe and readers exploring the classics of African literature.

A Heinemann paperback in Good condition.
