The Blissabyss
The Blissabyss depicts the contradictions inherent in human life and its vulnerability to negative trajectories. Save for Nancy, Eugene, Fresha, and Brenda are idealistic in their youth. As they mature, they come to terms with a world with little room for ideals. Driven by ambition to succeed, Eugene reveals his plans to everyone only to encounter many obstacles on his journey to success. When his brother, Soita attempts to murder him, Eugene comes to terms with his delusions about being strong. Deprived of love and family, his tethers to idealism snap, and he drinks and spends in Nancy’s room contradicting his moral principles. After a fantastic love affair with Frank, Fresha loses her chastity. Eugene would have continued in his chosen destructive path without Professor Mukabi’s intervention. The author’s message: a supportive social environment is the sole prescription to mitigate the weaknesses ingrained in human nature.
What Others Say
“The characters in The Blissabyss represent a society at a crossroads with individuals seeking to find their feet and place in the face of shifting identities and generational transformations. Their interactions and experiences at the university cast aspersions on their long-held beliefs and open them to new vistas of a future that are substantially different from what they have been made to believe. These young characters act as a link betweewn the age-old beliefs and the future possibilities which need a sincere and rational engagement devoid of misconceptions and half-truths. This they do with varying degrees of success.” - Dr Maurice S Mwichuli, Lecturer, Literary Studies, Kenyatta University
“In The Blissabyss, Andrew Nyongesa uses elegant, contemplative language with a mix of poetic imagery and emotional depth. The text is rich and expressive creating vivid images of the settings. The description helps the readers to visualize the characters’ inner worlds and their interactions.” - Juliet Achieng’, Editor, Nsemia Inc.
The Forbidden Rose by Agnes Rachael
Our Secret Campus Story
Nyambura, a young Kikuyu woman, and Rukiya, a devout Muslim from a coastal Swahili community, meet at the University, where diversity is celebrated but still governed by unspoken cultural and religious expectations. Their paths cross by chance, and they soon find themselves drawn to each other. What begins as an innocent friendship quickly deepens into something more profound, a bond neither of them expected.
Despite their different backgrounds, Nyambura and Rukiya find comfort and strength in each other’s presence. Nyambura is spirited, adventurous, and challenges traditional roles, while Rukiya is quiet, thoughtful, and deeply anchored in her faith. Yet, their differences only enhance their connection, a relationship that transcends mere friendship. Their love blossoms in secret, shielded from the judgmental gaze of society.
But as their relationship deepens, they begin to feel the weight of the expectations placed upon them. Nyambura’s Kikuyu family has always expected her to marry a man from their community, someone who would uphold tradition and continue their lineage. Rukiya’s Muslim faith, in particular, is strict in its stance on love and marriage, leaving little room for a relationship like theirs. Both families expect them to follow a conventional path, one that leaves no room for the bond they share.
They face immense pressure, not just from their families, but also from society at large, where their love is seen as an aberration. Can they dare to live authentically, even if it means losing everything they hold dear? Or will they succumb to the crushing expectations of their families, faith, and culture? Nyambura and Rukiya must confront these challenges, forced to decide whether their love is worth the fight in a world that demands conformity.
Their story is one of heart-wrenching choices: love versus duty, authenticity versus expectation, and the courage it takes to live against the grain. Will they risk everything for the chance to love freely, or will the pressures of society and family tear them apart?

“I was in suspense by the way the author toggled from the present to the past. the blending of historical events and characters, which at times caused me to forget this was fiction. This was a riveting page-turner with plot twists that kept me reading until the end.” — Vasco Figueira
“Tell Me Where You’ve Been is a powerful reflection on how people treat music, literature and especially people. I enjoyed it greatly.” — Brian Benavides
“The uniqueness of this book lies in Dobrin’s extension of Bhabha’s theory of onward migration and contemporary challenges among minorities living in host nations such as the United States of America.” — Dr. Andrew Nyongesa, Literature Scholar
