Devil on the Cross (Penguin African Writers Series Book 5)

Devil on the Cross by Ngugi wa Thiong'o is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that delves into the dark realities of capitalism in Kenya.

This gripping tale follows the story of Wariinga, a young woman who moves from a rural town to Nairobi only to be exploited by her boss and later by a corrupt businessman.

As she struggles to survive, Wariinga begins to realize that her problems are just symptoms of a larger societal malaise caused by Western influences.

This book is an impassioned cry for a Kenya free of dictatorship and a call to action for African writers to work in their own local dialects.

With its powerful themes and masterful storytelling, Devil on the Cross is a must-read for anyone interested in post-colonial African literature.
