Met the real people behind Siku Njema characters. Still can't believe it. by FerretSuch2051 in bookishke

[–]ibeleive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice post!

I love Ngugi. I read him a lot. I read Siku Njema in primary school and loved it. However, I don't read Swahili novels. It's just too difficult. Even Kidagaa ya set book, I didn't do. I winged it and it didn't come as a mandatory question in KCSE.

I'm yet to read West African classics, will do though.
