A sad story about growing up in a strict missionary school and about
colonial rule in Kenya. While detailing the hardships of growing up in a
strict religious setting, it is more a story of love between the
estranged wife of an infamous black man and his hard-working but sad
servant, told from a boy’s viewpoint.
The
servant had placed his life in the master’s hands at a time the white
authorities were looking for him for the murder of a cruel but white
man. So when the master learned about the love affair, he gave him away
to the white authorities. However the pain of the affair made him nearly
strangle his wife, and shortly led to his death.
