THE RIVER AND THE SOURCE by Margaret A. Ogola

This has been a school set book in Kenya for many years, and oh lord, you can tell from the copy I read. It is seriously mangled, and covered with youthful writing which indicates ‘metaphors’ and ‘similies.’ It was sort of charming. Part way through, a photograph of a girlfriend even fell out.

I’ve reviewed it here for Africa Book Club.

  1. Wonderful review, Sarah! Thanks for introducing this beautiful classic to us. I will add it to my 'TBR' list. I loved the story of your copy of the book. It is interesting that it had writings and a photograph inside.
