What happens when strangers settle on your land, and the home you have always known begins to slip away? In the first chapter of Our Land, Our Love, we meet Wacheera Githue, a young woman navigating family expectations, the stirrings of love and the changing world around her in the highlands of colonial Kenya. Working as a domestic servant on the farm of a white settler, Wacheera experiences a world vastly different from her own. But the stories her grandmother told her about the arrival of the white man linger in her mind, raising questions about land, belonging and the future of her people. Back in her village, Wacheera's childhood bond with Ekeno begins to blossom into something more. Yet, as the two grow closer, a more pressing question emerges: what happens when the land that defines a people is threatened? Love is beginning to bloom, but so is uncertainty. 🎧 Listen to Chapter One of Our Land, Our Love and step into a story of love, memory, tradition and the struggle to hold on to what is yours. Books in Africa brings African stories to your ears one instalment at a time.
