Books you love and why

Well, I earlier told you that am not a great reader but i have books I love. 1) The first daughter ,a novel by a Ugandan author Gorretti Kyomuhendo. I love this book passionately because it actually defines a woman, a girl and a mother. Well its about a young village girl whoes father struggles to take to school but as a girl she disappoints everyone. Kasimire struggled and built the woman in her. Even when all were against her, she stood as one to protect her son.In the end she proved to the entire village that a woman’s work place isnt the kitchen. This book also talks to parents especially fathers , to try and understand their children. It redefines women in contemplary Africa. Kasemire’s endurance ,courage, determination is a lesson to all ladies. 2)Heart of the matter by Greene. Just loved the title even before reading it “The heart” O God 😍its just right. It is a book of moral crisis for Henry Scobie. Trying to mend his religious life , it is full of dilemas. Well I just picked one line on page 254 where father Rank said” The church knows the rules , but it doesnt know what goes on in a single human heart” Well i loved the way Greene shows us the mysteries of life, that hearts are just hidden. “The heart” 2)The River between by Ngugi Wathiongo. The protagonist Waiyaki is caught up between his destiny as the direct descendant of a seer and must therefore lead the village as well as being a young man who abtained education and in love with Nyambura the christian daughter of Joshua. He actally tries to blend christianity and culture. The women in the book barely have a voice, but the girls determined wilful and courageous try to use their emotional intelligence to be what they want to be. Muthoni chooses circumcision to become beautiful in the tribe.Well it is a simple book but deeply complex with a lyrically beautiful story. I also love the romance in it, the love stands against all odds.” I love you Nyambura” And the way the author chooses his settings, this book is just magical. O well, this is alito…
