A recurring theme is the role of women in society and their longing for equity, their triumph often depicted by heroines catapulted by circumstances rather than deliberate action of society to engineer their success.

The anthology is a welcome break from the monotony of classical Kenyan writers that captures emerging
voices on the Kenyan literary scene. This meticulously selected compilation focuses on diverse subjects such as post-election violence, political animosity, national integration, greed, broken love and cultural alienation. This mix makes for interesting reading, even as it raises serious questions about Kenyan society.
