(3) 4-6 Mathew, son of a British landowner in Kenya, and Mugo, son of a black stableman who works on Mathew's father's land, continue a tenuous friendship begun by their grandfathers. As the Mau Mau movement for Kenyan independence builds during the 1950s, the trust between their families erodes. Lyrical text and a vivid setting bring to light this turbulent time in Africa's history. Glos.
