- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,
A tremendous writer... <b>It's hard to doubt the power of the written word when you hear the story of Ngugi wa Thiong’o</b>
Guardian
Ngugi is affording us a glimpse into how a prisoner of conscience, by stubbornly reiterating his convictions, keeps faith with the ideals that those in power want him to betray... This <b>thrilling testament to the human spirit</b> had, for me, a fierce resonance... I could not help feeling that his <b>luminous </b>words were meant for those victims and many others being persecuted across the world, a way of urging humanity to never surrender to the demons of fear and silence

<b>One of Kenya's greatest storytellers</b>
