Title: Adha ya heri
First published: 2008
Description: I like this author's kiswahili. It is refreshing and has structures which awaken your interest. Some of his grammar may appear a little unusual but in the main (I am not a native kiswahili speaker but a lover of same) it is  orthodox and well-tuned to modern language rules. I found this helped me very much in pushing my kiswahili that bit further. True the punctuation is a disaster in many places but ......
He neatly intersperses his main narrative with his everyday background e.g. when he sees his long-dreamt of Land Rover and wonders what if .... , and the tourists waiting in his friend's travel agency etc. The actual pace of the writing I find careful without being ponderous or slowing down the development of the story. 
The plot is very modern. It's unbelievably refreshing not to have to read another in the interminable half-baked plots which revolve around adolescent love! I haven't finished reading it but I am really looking forward to completing it. 
I would gladly read any other work by this same author.
