It is a villagecaught up in a disadvantaged position compared to their neighbours who had earlier embracededucation. Education is belatedly seen as a means of escape from their misgivings: the breastmilk they had all along denied their children and a breath that will give life to it.The book follows the lives of three people in Gusii society and the different paths taken, theencounters faced and their responses to fluid circumstances of a society in transition.Considered 'beacons of hope' the three characters' lives encounter circumstances, interwovenintersections of social change brought about by colonialism, religion and 'modern' education.Clearly no gains happen without cost: colonialism, new religion and associated education cameat a cost for the people of Africa: loss of their culture.
