Which are your favourite works by this author? River Between is the most famous by him I think so o haven't really looked at other books by him.Nama Winnie wrote: ↑08 Jul 2020, 23:01 i read Ngugi wa Thiongo's The River Between when I was around 10 years. I remember being told that it was not a storybook. I completed it, wowed everyone with the content I got from the book and i have never looked back.
