At a mall in Nairobi, a housewife follows the woman her husband has been cheating with, while gripping a knife. In Kangemi, congregants worship, but something sinister is brewing behind the praise. A girl walks along Moi Avenue, with the eerie feeling of being followed by her ex-lover. At the heart of these stories is something we all seek: love. How far will we go for it before we realize we may be approaching it the wrong way, or searching for it in the wrong place?
The stories in Imperfect Match are told in gripping, fast-paced prose—sometimes funny, sometimes sad—full of twists and turns. They hold up a mirror to our weaknesses, our strengths, and our resolve to keep moving forward despite it all.

Besides, we get to see what it takes to become a surgeon and how it feels to offer medical care in resource-restrained settings of Kenya.
Strange as some of the stories shared here may sound, none of them is. The society we live in and serve is full of people whose experiences and perspectives may sound far-fetched but they are all here with us.
The book is a compilation of stories that cover Twenty Eight critical themes, useful for both common reader as well clinical practitioners seeking to learn and appreciate the dynamics of health care.

Let the Old Man Speak and Other Poems...
This anthology is a three-part collection of forty three poems written by Odhiambo Kaumah, a teacher of Mathematics and Chemistry, a passionate creative writer and a community organizer for progressive social change.
The pieces, by the prolific author, are as diverse in themes as they are in structure. However, the inspiration behind the pieces is an old voice that attempts to speak sanity to the profanities of the fast-changing, socio-cultural and political practices. Issues such as marriage as it was and as it is, children-parent and youths-elders relationship in the age of "a dancing urban youth population" feature prominently.
Odhiambo Kaumah’s father, an old man with a good grasp of Luo traditional practices and as well a staunch Christian – catechist – inspired his conversational tone in describing everyday life in a rustic, African set up, in this anthology.
Fragments in a Kaleidoscope by Wambui...
Fragments in a Kaleidoscope is a tender, unflinching collection of stories that explores the messy, beautiful complexity of human experience. In these sharp, lyrical vignettes, Kieya and Gichuhi bring to life a chorus of voices; women finding agency in silence, men finding theirs in their voice, children caught in the undertow of adult failings, and lovers grappling with the weight of memory and loss. Each story is a fragment, but together they form a vivid mosaic of Kenyan life, past and present, mundane and extraordinary.
With wit, empathy, and a clear-eyed gaze, Kieya offers us a mirror and sometimes a wound. These are stories that refuse easy answers, choosing instead to dwell in nuance, contradiction, and the ever-shifting light of truth

KAVIRONDO: The Story of Luos and Luhy...
Kenyatta Otieno has published his second book; *Kavirondo: The story of Luhyas and Luos*.
KAVIRONDO is a masterful 338-page narrative that intricately weaves the shared history, culture, and evolution of the Luo and Luhya communities. Through a blend of vivid storytelling and meticulous historical analysis, the book unravels the intertwined destinies of these two groups, examining how colonialism froze fluid ethnic identities into rigid constructs and how these communities, once connected, became labeled as separate entities.
Otieno dives deep into profound topics, such as the disproportionate toll of HIV on the Luo compared to the Luhya and the remarkable role of Luhya women in bolstering Luo populations during the malaria epidemics of the past.
The author explores the transformative influence of missionaries and the rise of independent churches in Western Kenya, painting a compelling portrait of how religion reshaped culture. Beyond history, Kavirondo celebrates the vibrant contributions of Luos and Luhyas to music, activism, sports, and trade unions, offering inspiring glimpses into the lives of icons like Okatch Biggy, Owiro "Karl Marx" Christopher and GPO Oulu.
This book is not merely a historical account; it is a celebration of resilience, coexistence, and shared heritage. It challenges the reader to reconsider the nature of ethnicity and learn from the unity of these communities, whose collective stories transcend borders. For anyone seeking to understand Kenya’s rich tapestry of culture and history, Kavirondo is an essential read.
The Sex Lives of African Women by Nan...
The Sex Lives of African Women uniquely amplifies individual women from across the African continent and its global diaspora, as they speak of their diverse experiences of sex, sexualities and relationships.
Many of the women who tell their stories in this collection recall the journeys they have travelled in order to own their own sexualities. They do this by grappling with experiences of child sexual abuse, resisting the religious edicts of their childhood, and by asserting their sexual power.
From finding queer community in Egypt to living a polyamorous life in Senegal to understanding the intersectionality of religion and pleasure in Cameroon to choosing to leave relationships that no longer serve them, these narratives are as individual and illuminating as the women who share them.
