description: Mwambu will climb the mountain where he hopes to touch heaven, but his journey from naive curiosity to adulthood will reveal unexpected contradictions. His descent from the mountain - his maturation - lays bare the sexual, social, and religious conflicts he has to face. Timothy Wangusa's subtle wit and insight into the discoveries of childhood and adolescence make his first novel a compelling read.
