Blossoms of the savannah

Blossoms of the Savannah is a riveting account of two sisters, Taiyo and Resian, who are not only on the verge of womanhood but also torn between their personal ambitions and the humiliating duty to the Nasila tradition. Their relocation to their rural home heralds a culture alienation born of their refusal to succumb to Female Genital Mutilation and early marriage.

In pursuit of the delicate and elusive social-economic and cultural balance in Nasila, Ole Kaelo - the girls' father is ensnared by a corrupt and sly extortionist, Oloisudori Lonkiyaa. To extricate himself, Ole Kaelo sends his daughters into a flat-spin labyrinth from which they have to struggle to wriggle out.

In this spellbinding narrative, the author captures the reader's imagination as he traces the girls' excruciatingly painful steps to victory.

Other titles by Ole Kulet include: Bandits of Kibi, Moran No More, Daughter of Maa, The Hunter and The Elephant Dance.
