It's Our Turn to Eat

Just got myself a pdf of Michela Wrong's It's Our Turn to eat: The story of a Kenyan whistleblower. The writing is superb. Indeed, Ms Wrong treats the reader as an expert lover would his mate. She teases, gives you a taste, withdraws, moves to 'uninteresting' bits, gets back and all the while the tension is building, the desire ... you are asking for more. Be warned: It is not a book you will put down easily.
The book is about John Githongo and his troubles as the PS in charge of Governance...
It is already being serialised in the Daily Nation and has been reviewed - not exhaustively - in The EastAfrican and The Standard.
Great read ...

Why this blog?

So many books read; so many to read; so many to read. But where do we get the books? How?
