A Grain of Wheat
Ngugi Wa Thiong'O
A Grain of Wheat tells the story of a group of villagers whose lives were transformed by the Mau Mau rebellion and Kenya's independence from Britain. The reticent Mugo, the village's chosen hero, is haunted by a terrible secret. Through mythical narration peppered with allusions to real-life leaders, we learn of the villagers' tangled histories, where compromises are forced and friendships and loves are tested.
