Nuria Ranking: #7 in Secondary (8-4-4)Kito Makato, now the undisputed head of his family, is in for a rude awakening. Things are fast getting out of hand on the home front as his wife of twelve years, Kawira, discovers that ‘there is no peace without truth’ and, under pressure from an old friend, decides to lay bare her controversial past. Arguing that ‘God made woman to keep recreating her man over and over again’ and that ‘No man is a hero to his wife; even if she is a bushwoman,’ Kawira, a woman on several missions, uses silence; persuasion, threats, wit, sarcasm and whatever other ammunition she can think of to puncture all the bubbles thrown in her way. So, is anyone out there bold enough to throw stones into her territory ‘when we all live in glasshouses’?

Sauti ya Dhiki (Toleo Jipya)
Diwani hii - inayosheheni mashairi kuhusu utamaduni, mapenzi, nasaha, siasa, mambo ya kinyumbani, n.k. - ilitungwa baina ya 1969 na 1972 ambapo mtunzi alikuwa kifungoni baada ya kupatikana na hatia ya kuwachochea watu ili waipindue Serikali ya Kenya kwa kutumia silaha. Kwa hivyo, unapoisoma diwani hii hutaweza kujizuia kuona athari ambayo kifungo huweza kuwa nayo kwa mfungwa.
n
nJambo la maana sana kuhusu diwani hii ni kwamba mtunzi ameweza kuzungumzia mambo ya kisasa, kama alivyofanya katika shairi la 'Usiniuwe!', bila kupotoka na kutafuta mifano ya kigeni. Hili ndilo lililompa Shihabuddin Chiraghdin, mmoja wa wataalamu mashuhuri wa lugha ya Kiswahili, kusema katika utangulizi wake kwamba, ingawa mtunzi ameingiliwa na athari za kigeni kwa ajili ya elimu aliyoipata shuleni, 'hakukubali kuzongwazongwa na athari hizo, hivyo mashairi yake hayana maingilio ya miundo ya kigeni hata chembe, na mawazo yake yote yameambatana na Uswahili na Uafrika kwa jumla'.
n
nKitabu hiki kitawafaa wale wapendao kusoma mashairi ya Kiswahili ya kiwango cha juu, na vilevile wanafunzi wa fasihi ya Kiswahili katika shule za sekondari na vyuo vikuu.
